I know I could put this in the other section but want other to see if they can help, I believe my body comp needs replacing, left rear indicator is staying on all the time even when car is turned off, and there is a left side light failure, no rear light, (brake light ls work) has anyone else had this issue,
I did pull the body comp out had a look cleaned it with an electrical spray cleaner hoping it would fix it but no! I need to fix the problem so I can get a RWC done on the car so I can change ownership into my name.
Thanks

I think I have a problem with mine too as my cruise control has stopped working on the GTA after it took a bump. If you know someone who can solder really well you can try resoldering the board as sometimes the solders crack (Bazzbazz told me this) But replacing it means also getting a new matched ECU and transponder for your key I think

I looked at mine just by naked eye and could not see any issues but will probably look again with a magnifine glass

Gday mate, this won't be the body computer, it will most likely be brake light switch or the clutch switch at fault.

Should be an easy fix.

Dehne, going from experience and from what you've described, your body computer is cactus. You'll definitely need a replacement BCM/ECU/Key transponder set.
