"Extended Storage Switch"

Trilitheum · 02-01-2012, 07:55 AM

I would check the fuse, 10A Electrics, which you will have in the same location as where the new "switch" is located now.

Do you have an exterior chime when you lock and unlock the doors? If you have this chime and no OBD power, something else is up.

Will this problem can cause the SES light to come on? My car trows a SES light every couple hundred miles. I take it to the dealer they scan it and nothing is found.

On mine the switch was loose for ~2 weeks and it didn't throw any codes or tirgger the SES light. Easy check to see if it is loose, just pop open the fuse panel and take a look.

Well my buttons on those handles dont even work.. Never worked actually

Just did some digging, this switch doesn't control the signal from the door handles. The attached image shows all the things it does control:

- Key Slot (Left side of Steering Wheel)
- Data Link Connector (Aka OBD-II Port)
- A/C Auto Amp. (Alloys the automatic climate control to turn the A/C on and off)
- Intelligent Key Warning Buzzer (Exterior lock/unlock chime, etc)
- Auto Anti-Dazzling Mirror (Home Link Mirror if Equipped)

looks like i have wire problems..cause everything except the OBD port and intellegent key warning buzzer dont work..

I would say so, probably no easy fix, have to grab a multimeter and start testing cable runs, but that's going to be a big job. The factory service manual does have all of the electrical diagrams.

Might as well take it too someone thats know electrical!

Just as an FYI, this guy was hanging on my mirror when I received the car:

This is also the first time I've seen this "BCM transit mode."

Trilitheum - I can not thank you enough! You just saved me a trip to the dealer, and a lot of frustration. A simple push of the button and my Homelink is up and running, and even have a chime now. This has been delaying my install of my remote starter as I didn't want my dealer to accuse me of breaking my homelink.

Thank you!

No problem, exactly why I made this thread. Glad it helped you out.
