Does your key ring light light up when you open the door?

you know i have not checked or noticed if it does or not, but i just went outside and it does not light up when i open the door

I think you fried your BCM in your dashboard behind the CD Player. I had the same problem with the dome light and key ring light. Try replacing the bulb in the key ring to verify first.

Check your door switches. I had one got bad. $10 later it was working again. Easy fix.

it is a pretty new led in the key ring.......it is not the door switches cause i just replaced one, and both door lights are working. i bet it is that bcm.....gotta see if i can junkyard one.

I bought mine from someone on here for $25 shipped. Keep in mind it's a $900 dealer part. But if your key ring light is new, it has to be your BCM. I fawked mine up when I crossed the positive and negative of the key ring light. Brought it to the dealer, they told me it was the BCM.

just wondering what dose BCM stand for, what dos it all do

Body Control Module. There are many located in your car. It's basically any black box with a bunch of electronic pieces and switches in it that control areas of the car. The one that ManualMaxima needs replaced is behind the CD player.
