Hi there, just looking for some pointers, I've read through a bunch of similar threads but didn't have much luck. Yesterday, out of the blue, I went outside to notice my rear license plate lights (2) were on, as well as the right rear brake light ( believe it to be the brake light, could also be a running light). We've had some zero degree F temps lately, and I did have a can of soda explode behind the passenger seat. It cracked open on the rubber mat and all of the contents were right there on the mat, which makes me believe it didn't get to the becm. I did hook up a leaf blower to dry any possible moisture out of the area, if there was any. The temperature never got back above freezing, so the soda was still solid, but turning the heat on could have thawed some of it I suppose.
Things are just really sporadic now...the interior lights all started to faintly flicker, and are now a constant on, no doors open, nor faults listed on the message center. When the interior lights started to stay on, only the glove box light wouldn't come on, all others would (someone removed the glove box and never replaced it). The brake light only comes on occasionally, and sometimes the driver's side marker light on the front comes on (North America), but goes off at random times. Everything else functions as I would expect, except these lights. Blinkers, wipers, all dash lights function. It seems like when the vehicle is at running temperature, the brake light goes out, but after cooling down, the brake light randomly comes back on. I'm getting proper voltage from the battery and alternator, so I don't think that is an issue (battery is about 2 years old). On occasion when the brake light goes off on its' own, I'll get a message on the message center that the left and right brake lights need replaced...but only every once in a while, maybe one time out of ten.
I've held down the dome light button and get the message that the interior lights are off, but that doesn't change anything. Would you expect that it is something with the becm malfunctioning? If so, if I remove it completely to inspect, will I have any issues when re-hooking it back up? I just can't really imaging what else it could be after reading through the forums. At the moment the interior lights are all on and the two licence plate lights are constant on, too. Very strange.
