Replying to: hatemyaztec (Sep 23, 2008 9:16 pm) I don't know if that could be the BCM, but here's something you could try that might tell you its related. If you pull the fuse #28(I believe) in the fuse box under the hood, and leave it out for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and start the car and see if the same things continue. This resets the BCM. On my car that would cure it for a while which made me believe it was the BCM that was the culprit. Replies to this message: hatemyaztec (Sep 24, 2008 7:18 am)

Replying to: hatemyaztec (Sep 23, 2008 9:16 pm) For the cold running engine it is likely the thermostat is stuck open. Inexspensive part but not easy to get to to replace. The usual first thing that would get replaced for the gas guage problem for any vehicle is the sending unit in fuel tank, but in the case of the Tek, it may be problem with C305 connector. The problem with key getting stick may be issue with lock cylinder itself or Brake Transaxle Shift interlock.
#261 of 362 Further info needed by hatemyaztec Sep 29, 2008 (12:17 pm)
Thanks ray80 for responding to my questions. Being a female I don't know much about vehicles so I have to ask what and where is the C305 connector? As for the lock cylinder or brake transaxle shift interlock could u please explain further? Does any of this have anything to do with a fuse of some sort or a connector at the computer? The key isn't turning all the way to off so the steering wheel isn't locking and the car isn't getting turned off all the way. Sorry for so many questions but I'd like to know what I'm talking about when I approach a mechanic as I've been taken before. Thank you heaps. Replies to this message: ray80 (Sep 30, 2008 3:05 am)

Replying to: hatemyaztec (Sep 29, 2008 12:17 pm) The C305 connector is a large plug in connector that has a bunch of wires that handle many electrical things toward the rear of vehicle. It is behind the drivers seat (under the carpet) and one side is in the cabin, the other underneath (outside). The lock cylinder is what the key goes into and potentialy could get sticky and not turn. There is also an interface with the BTSI which is a safety thing that ensures the vehicle is not in gear when it is started (also prevents removing key when in gear). The BTSI itself is in the shift console area and could be faulty or may have short/ corrosion in wiring. There is a way to remove the key via a little plug under the steering colum I beleive. the plug can be removed and something small inserted that will push a button that allows removal ( I haven't done that so I don't know exactly how to accomplish it)

#265 of 362 BCM by ray80 Sep 30, 2008 (10:35 am)
I had a little BCM related issue last week when visiting NC (and heading back to CT). We were kind of on the outside edge of the coastal storm that was being talked about and when we got in vehicle to start the long ride home my wife made mention of a little water dripping inside the cabin (darn sunroof again). As soon as I started it the security light/ svs light were blinking alternately as well as radio being locked and power window switchs not working. As I haven't had any real trouble in the area before I figured it was due to excess moisture (or liquid water) had found its way where it shouldn't have. I just turned the heater on and removed both side panels on shifter console and drove the 90 miles or so to VA before stopping and shutting it off. I restarted it and ALL the problems were gone and drove the remaining 800 miles or so (the way I went) home without any further issues. Cheap fix (for now anyway)
