This is the front grey plug on the BCM and I need to unplug it. Looks like a lock tab on there but it hasn't moved w moderate force. What am I missing here? the FSM is not clear at all on this. Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hello, are you trying the silver clip towards the top of the connector? It looks like that pulls up and over the connector unlocking the connection. That's my guess!

 

That would be step #2, first the grey connector must come off. Book says it goes to the right, but as I look at the schematics it seems to show it removes straight up like the other plugs. I'm not sure if the black tab has anything to do w locking the plug on or not?
Its hard to see but there is a black tab on the left side of the grey plug. Not sure if that tab is a lock that goes up or dn or ??

 

My guess is that the dark grey part on the right is a lever and it is pulled up, there looks like the end of a metal hinge pin visible on the face toward the camera.

 

Again, that would be step #2. Here is a direct quote from the FSM;

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4 - CONTROL MODULE BOX COOLING FAN 5 - CONTROL MODULE BOX 6 - BODY CONTROL MODULE
2. Slide the clips forward to remove the plastic control module box cover (1).
3. Holding the metal body control module retaining clip back, pull the body control module (6) up and out of the control module box (5).
4. Disconnect the electrical connectors by first sliding the grey windshield wiper connector lock to the right and removing the windshield wiper electrical connector. Then, pull the metal body control module connector lock up to unlock and disconnect the rest of the body control module electrical connectors.
OK, so the grey connector is removed first, by "sliding to the right" after unlocking it. Now how do I unlock it??????

 

Got it ! There are two grey tabs, one on ea side that need to be pried on while lifting up.
Whew what a pain. BCM is now off to the rebuilder and soon I can roll up my window.

 

What clue says it's the BCM is at fault?
How did you find it?

 

There are quite a few posts on this forum about this. First I took my door apart, then switch area, then tested volts to the motor= 1.5 volts, not the motors fault, its not getting juice.
After reading a bunch of posts it became much clearer, and after talking w Tom at index the body module begins to fail at a certain number of hours vs miles. The oldest of our cars are fast approaching 10 yrs old and we are on the forefront of future maladies. Spoilers go up, windows stay down and who knows what else. Particular care was given to the two points in the front where ground wires converge and attach to the body, those need to be cleaned too. My car has spent its life in SW TX and NM, no corrosion anywhere.
To rebuild for 280 frt included w a lifetime warranty sure beat any other alternative out there including ebay.
I'll let you know if it solves the problem.

 

As a final follow up, my right side power window is now working perfectly. The problem was the body control module, BCM, was sending 1.2 volts to the pwr window motor and that is what caused the clicking sound in two places, the motor in the door and the BCM in the black plastic box under the hood, both would click when the switch was pressed and the BCM put out too little voltage. I got the BCM rebuilt at index and it cost 280 bux w freight and a lifetime warranty. I'm very pleased coz the new BCM is like 1300 at the dealer (?) plus labor, and i did it myself and I work cheap.
Life is good now as our Crossfire is back on the road !!!

 

Thanks for the follow up, I'm sure this thread will come in handy in the future as the miles pile up. Good job.

 

Hw = hardware?
SW = software?
Is this perhaps correct?
