QuestionRolland thanks for you reply
My 1994 LHS dome lights stays on at times. I removed all the door switches and checked with them a ohm meter they all tested ok. I noticed as a test if I leave the key in and open the door a bell rings immediately and when I close the door the bell stops immediately proving the door wiring and switch works as they should. The timing circuit in the body control module is failing at times. I have to close the door and wait for the lights to dim. Last week they did not dim to off. I had to pull the 10 amp fuse and reset the timing circuit. I have had the battery drained twice, before I found out the reason. I have removed the passenger side door sill, and a small panel by the passenger shins, and pulled up the carpet and a heavy foam pad I see a bunch of wires but no sign of a Module is it on the side or under the glove box. Will you please email me a drawing showing where the BCM is and how to get to it.
I have read your answers to other questions and I am impressed with you style of explanation. Only if there was a computer guy who could give clear answers like you . What a great service you are doing.

AnswerHi Jack,
I don't have a document scanner so let me describe it from the text of the manual. I can xerox and snail mail it to you if this isn't sufficient. It is mounted diagonally on the side wall (cowl) fairly high off the floor, not behind or under the glove box. Once you get the trim panel off you may be able to feel it through the liner:
"Remove right end cap from the dash
Remove right cowl side trim panel and pull carpeting back exposing dash liner
Cut dash liner along perforated lines and pull back dash liner.
Remove mounting screw (top edge of module) through oblong hole at right hand end of knee bolster.
Remove push-pin fastener at lower rear corner leg of module from underneath the instrument panel and maneuver module down and out, disconnect the three electrical plugs to remove the module.
Once you have it out, check for any dirt, corrosion, water around all the sockets and the plug pins which might be causing a short circuit.
Thank you for the kind comments about my efforts.
Roland
