How could you resolve an electrical issue in a Pontiac Firebird that prevents the windows and radio-CD player from operating at the same time?

So this is what I have found out so far. I have a 1999 Pontiac TransAm with the WS6 package. My windows are currently not functioning and neither does my aftermarket radio. First check the ignition switch, if you are lucky then that will be the issue. If that is not it, check the BCM, next to the Glove Box, vertically mounted. I already had the Ignition switch changed, but now the Body Control Module (allows the windows to function and the radio to work after you turn off the car) has a short and needs to be replaced. With Pontiac being shutdown, you need to fix this fast.


Both Light motors won't close on 1991 Pontiac firebird fuses fine what could be the cause?

Had the same issue, took the motors, cleaned the shafts and metal bearings, lubricated them, put fresh grease on the gears and re-installed them. Now they work just fine. Doesn't take much for those motors not to spin.

The fuel line could be the issue. Also it could be the fuel filter, or a loss of fire to the spark plugs in the Tacoma.
