2015 Silverado drivers door window controls stopped working and my radio started staying on after taking keys out and locking doors.

Hit a flooded roadway the other night and accidentally hit the shifter into reverse at high speed. Did I get something wet or was it the accidental shift. I tried disconnecting the battery already no luck

The windows ,locks etc... are controlled by an electronic control module ,BCM - body control module . Doubt shifting into reverse or the water did anything . Shifting into reverse could have damaged the internal parts of the transmission only . Did water get inside the driver door ? Taking the vehicle to a qualified repair shop that has a professional scan tool to have a full vehicle scan done ,is what you should do . Not a part store , their code reader can not read BCM or driver door module codes .

Testimonial: "Passenger side got the most water not in cab though just a 50mph power wash didn't know if some got up in under the engine compartment. The window master switch I'm going to try replacing before going to a chevy dealer. Truck only has 29k I believe you're on the right track the symptoms don't correlate to me the radio not shutting off now Windows not working truck seems to be starting harder before it started in half a second now it's cranking for a while strange things are happening. Thank you"

    Why not take it to the dealer , could be fixed under warranty . You real should have a full vehicle scan done , all the modules are checked for codes . You vehicle has at least 10 electronic control modules on board . They all share info. on GMLAN serial data network , are you familiar with C.A.N. controller area network ? This is a communication network for the controllers . A two wire can bus. A bad ground can cause all kind of electrical problems . Suppose you change the switch an it doesn't fix the problem ? Checking for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes is the only way . There are other repair shops besides dealers , independent repair shops like mine , started at the dealer back in the 80'S , have my own shop now for 20 years . Other places ,Firestone , pep boy's , napa car care centers.

    You're right Jeff and I appreciate your time and your comments you seem very well versed I canceled the order for the window switch and made an appointment with a dealer the truck has 29,000 miles but it's over the three years it'll be out of pocket that's why I was trying to fix it myself. Thank you again

SOURCE: Alarm haywire, can't override anti-theft system or turn on car

The Alarm on my Mercedes ML320 sounded every night, then it started doing it more often, Showed it to the dealer he says it's the 'Tow Sensor', that needs to be repaced. $700, down the drain. I have already started hating this car, it eats $500-600, every 6 months...

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. First of all you’ll need to check battery voltage, recharge it if it is low or jump start with another battery charger. Inspect, clean and tight both ends of all battery cables. Also check, clean and tight wiring connections. Check for voltage at relay. If relay has voltage but there is no "click" when key is turned to start, replace relay. Remove starter and inspect drive gear and flywheel teeth, replace damaged parts if necessary. Check to see if voltage reaches starter relay/solenoid when turn to start. If not, check for open P/N switch and brake or clutch pedal switch. Please pry the interior panel and release the inside door locks. If still the issue is not resolved then you’ll need to drill a two inch hole into the latch to access the inside lock link through the interior panel. After removing the panel replaces the latch to resolve the issue. See the picture where to drill---

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks

2015 Chevy Silverado 2500Hd LT DBL Cab. Lost control of mirrors, all passenger windows, and window locks at drivers door cluster.

I had a vehicle that only one headlight and one turn signal would work. No running lights or brake lights. All fuses were good. It was very confusing. Turned out to be a body control module. Seems like when there is no sense on how something is not working, turns out to be the BCM. Have your vehicle with a scanner.

Brake lights stay on

Your brake light switch is stuck on, this is also why the cruise is in-op, the cruise is turned off anytime you touch the brake pedal otherwise the car would try to accelerate when you tried braking. The brake light switch is located above the brake pedal, look up the arm the pedal is attached to and you will see it, the switch is not real expensive, and it is easy to install with simple hand tools. As far as the door lock issue fix the brake light switch and try it, not sure it is related unless it all started at the time the brake lights started staying on. Post back after you replace the switch if door problem remains. Thanks
