Did you accidentally bump the buttons on the OH console, Phil? You can manually shut it off, IIRC.

That just happens to be what she said...Ooops...did I say that out loud?
I have never had this happen before. My beef is that the auto dimmer for the rear view mirror doesn't work anymore.

This is what I just did to my blower control module for the interior fans. I popped the hood, tapped the BCM, and I heard it kick right on. Has worked fine for over a week now. I will eventually pull it apart and fix the bad solder joint seeing as how I live in New England and can't risk not having heat! Sounds like this car is full of bad solder joints!I read somewhere that it is a bad solder joint on the board and can be fixed easily....SMACK it first though!!

That worked for me about a month then it was time for a new one. Fastblackmerc might have a repaired BCM.

I believe I can do the repair myself. I am good with electronics and took electronics classes in college. I am good with a solder gun, so I am going to try it myself. I saw the thread on it and it seems pretty straight forward.
