Where is this located or is this actually the BCM (Body Control Module)? The car is being erratic with some weird things happening the past few days, I'm assuming the BCM was damaged due to the transmission fluid wicking up the wire to the passenger seat. For instance, yesterday my car would only lock from the key fob, then all of a sudden the dash button worked again. Also the spoiler seems to go up at any MPH and will not go back down unless the car is parked and restarted (blinking spoiler light). Can I simply purchase a used BCM and program myself?

Any information would be greatly appreciated! I'm bummed out but other then these issues I'm very pleased with the crossfire. I just didn't expect to have to deal with some issues with such low mileage.

Thanks,
Mike
Spoiler acting funny: Usually a bad battery and the ABS light can also become illuminated due to a flaky battery - if the battery is over four years old, replace it and let's see what we have. Otherwise, I'd suspect maybe a bad wheel speed sensor.

Lock-unlock button on panel not always working - but key fob does. This is an odd one. The lock-unlock button on the panel is wired to the BCM, the BCM then tells the CLP/SSM to "lock" or "unlock". We usually hear of the FOB not working but the button does work - not the other way around. I got nothin on this one!
