electrical problem

[Subzero]

Was wondering if anyone has had these issues before and could offer some solutions.

1: traction control light stays on. Switch doesn't turn it off.

2: when headlights are off and only daytime lights are on, signal lights are fine and working. However, once lights are turned on, signal lights flash fast and both sides flash, fog lights don't work. All fuses and relays are working.

3: when the horn is pressed, no horn. But the foglights switch lights up without the foglights coming on.

Im stumped and have no idea where to start. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.

I would recommend that you check for a faulty ground connection. Start at the battery and make sure there is no corrosion at the terminals. You should also inspect wiring harness grounds at the fuse block under the hood. You might also look at the BCM (Body Control Module) The BCM is located under the glove box, behind a kick panel. Look for moisture, and remove the electrical harness connections (there are 3 of them) and look for moisture/corrosion , and re-connect. If this doesn't correct the problem, you might need to go to the dealer and have them test the BCM.

Ok ill take a look at all this. What's the BCK for and do?

The BCM controls almost all electronic devices on the car aside from engine management. You can read a little more here : http://www.ehow.com/facts_7876172_bcm-module-chevy-malibu-do.html

That link talks about a Chevy Malibu, but it's pretty much the same as what it does for your car.
