The flashlights on the hood would have solved the problem much faster. Just sayin'.

Good you got them working again. :thumbs:

I wonder how long until they just put a "reset" button somewhere on vehicles to reset the ECM, TCM, BCM, ABS module, airbag module, etc. It's amazing the problems that have been solved by unhooking the battery, it seems cars these days just need a good hard restart every now and then.

Ok, I think I found my problem. For some reason the wire from the BCM wasn't triggereing the relay to turn the lights on. I applied 12v to terminal 30 on the relay and the lights came on. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the BCM wouldn't be turning the lights on. So this morning I had a brain fart. I decided to unhook the battery for a few minutes to try and "reset" the BCM. And it worked! My lights are back to normal now, functioning like they should. So everything is all straight now. Thanks everyone for all your suggestions (except for putting a fwonking flashlight on my hood:crazy:).

Never... Because then they couldn't charge you $100 an hour for 5 minutes of work :jester:
