Hello, all.
The Body Control Unit functions of my 2003 FFRR has been acting up for a while now, and I've been checking ground points and connections where I can, with no luck.
The problems have been things like various buses not working, the doors not always automatically locking at xx MPH, odd gremlins like that. I have a hard time accessing/interfacing with the light control module and a few other subsystems with my RSW AllComms too.
I recently looked for a problem between the alternator and ground (or power side, for that matter), and looking at RAVE, came across an in-line diode between the alternator connector C0053 and the F5 fuse. Looking for that took me into the plastic left fuel injector wire "loom" cover. I found the diode in there, in-line. I found the molded potting around the actual diode crumbling to pieces. I'll try to attach the pic here....
