A 2000 GMC Yukon Denali that is intermittently losing power to the radio, power windows and wipers. I know these are all fed from the RAP relay but I find it hard to believe the relay could be failing at such random intervals with no apparent pattern. Could the BCM be failing If so how can I check this Any help would be appreciated, it`s driving me crazy! Thanks, Josh

I haven`t been able to check much. Just tried to recognize a pattern, but there doesn`t seem to be one. Sometimes it doesn`t happen at all and sometimes it cycles on/off a couple times a minute. It started by tripping when you pushed the window button but now will do it without touching anything and with the radio on or off. At first I checked the power window wiring and grounds but I can`t find anything wrong (obviously). One more thing, when it`s tripped sometimes you can get to come on by locking/ unlocking the doors quickly, but not always. According to the service documents, there is no RAP relay. The control of the power to the components you mentioned is done by the BCM, so yes, it could be a problem with that module. But what is more common is that a connector or fuse is coming loose, especially when the vehicle goes over bumps or there are temperature changes (connectors expand & contract). In the mean time, I would check the socket of that main fuse (IGN B), and if you have access to the BCM connectors, see if there are any "obvious" loose connectors or wires, especially the Dark Blue wire at pin C2 of Connector C2. Here are the connector C304 pins. Pins B9 & G2 are where the power comes out and in, and are the pins of interest. This an "inline" connector, and is also suspect. You might want to wiggle these wires and connectors and see if you can reproduce the problem. A test light or multimeter would also be...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
