Replying to: coldknight300 (Aug 03, 2007 8:41 pm) Hey, coldnight300 I have the same problem you have with your 300m. My 300M has about the same milage as your's. The only difference is that my windows and turn signals work fine. I also need some help or advise. Have you checked the fuse box. I checked mine and it was blown out, but when I tried putting in a new one it got blown as soon as it made contact. See id your fuse is blown out, if it is try to put a new one and see if you have more luck than I did. That's the only advise that I can give you at this time. If you tried something diffent can you let me know because I also dont' want to get rid of my ride.   Thanks Replies to this message: coldknight300 (Aug 22, 2007 1:05 pm)

I thought to scroll the dimmer switch, up and down as suggested, and it didnt do it again on the ride home....lets see about tomorrow. Issues I've had: Currently passenger rear window wont go down. Passenger heated seat works-sometimes-?? oh yeah and the car doors attract door dings like crazy??? Good info

Replying to: coldknight300 (Aug 03, 2007 8:41 pm) Before I got my '99 300M I had a '93 Concorde. Shortly after I bought it, used, I started having electrical problems. All the interior lights would quit, the dash lights, AC, turn signals, radio, power windows and seats would stop working. They might work fine later that day then quit again. I found in the service manual I bought for it that all these items were grounded to the chassis by one bolt under the console. It was hanging by a few threads and sometimes a bump would make it loose. I tightened the bolt and never had another electrical problem. I can't tell if the same thing is happening on your car but a bad ground can louse up a lot of things! Replies to this message: coldknight300 (Aug 22, 2007 1:27 pm)

Replying to: aj86 (Aug 15, 2007 6:35 am) Hey aj86. Thanks for the advice.I checked all of the fuses and they were fine. The electrical repair mechanic I talked to (not the dealer, another auto repair company) told me right away that the body control module (BCM) needed to be replaced. He said I have to take it to the dealer to get it repaired. The part at the dealer costs $480.00. The service department is going to charge $150.00 to install it and this includes programming the body control module. I now have to order it. They told me it will take 3 to 5 days before it gets to them. I will keep you updated.   Thanks again!   coldknight300

Replying to: quietflyer (Aug 16, 2007 3:31 pm) Hey quietflyer. Thanks for your advice. The ground wires were ok. I had one wire hanging behind the back tire on the driver side. It was connected to the muffler. I still had the same problem though. The electrical repair mechanic said the body control module (BCM) needs to be replaced. I will keep you updated. Thanks again!   coldknight300
#11 of 43 Trunk Light Switch Location by teds300 Aug 24, 2007 (9:17 pm)
Could someone please advise me where I can find the trunk light switch on my 2001 300M?   Does this model use a mercury switch? Thanks! TED Replies to this message: quietflyer (Oct 17, 2007 3:15 pm)
#12 of 43 300m alarm and interior lights by firecatf7 Oct 14, 2007 (9:22 pm)
I just bought a 1999 300m. The owner told me about how the driver's door problem and how it always said the driver's door was open. I think he got tired of having the interior lights on so he somehow disabled them (not by taking out a fuse). The car alarm (horn, headlights, and all) also goes off erratically and I think it has something to do with him fiddling around with stuff. What can I do. I'm pretty electrically savvy so feel free to explain things in detail. Thanks. Also feel free to send me an e-mail if you need to include pics or just want a faster way to get ahold of me. snowplowman03hotmail.com

Replying to: teds300 (Aug 24, 2007 9:17 pm) I looked in my service manual and the trunk light switch is part of the trunk lid latch where the key lock is located. The lamp comes on when the lid is unlocked, even if it is not lifted wide open.
