2006 Pacifica electrical nightmare
I have an '06 with 150k on it. Never had any problems until now. For the past week, for no particular reason, all gauges will start going crazy, all the warning lights will come on, high beams won't work, interior lights won't work, radio and heater quit and it won't come out of park. It only did it intermintantly and now it does it constantly. If you out it in gear as soon as you start it now, you can still drive it but it has the above problems. Battery tests good as does the alternator. All wiring looks good that I can see and I haven't found any corrosion anywhere. I added a second ground wire from battery to transmission as well as a second power wire from battery to fuse box with no results. All grounds look good. The last few days we have found the he get and radio will come back on when you open a door which seems really strange. I'm mechanically inclined and have put about 10 hours into it. I'm not willing to just throw parts at it without some good advice. Local dealer says they have only

Local dealer says they have only seen this twice and it took them 9 hours to diagnose one of those and it was broken wires. I can do that myself without paying dealership labor rates. Has anyone had a similar experience and what was the outcome. Pretty discouraged when dealer told me to put it on Craigslist.

More info
Removing the BCM fuse gets the crazy fuse box ticking to stop but overall problem persists. Only showing 2 codes. I don't recall exactly what they were but one was for signal loss to fuel tank and the other was for intake metering. I believe those are a result and not a cause.
