I'm sorry for not paying attention but does your battery light come on on the dash at all?
I'm having major problems with my 2010
Changed alternator and brand spanking new battery.
Still batt light comes on and off and voltage seems to drop under heavy acceleration or something..
I'm following this one hopefully I will get some information I can use.
Good luck with yours

No, wha happened was the infotainment screen, audio, AC, and some other things shut down. All I did was disconnect and reconnect the battery. Sprayed terminal protector on all the connections to the battery and the fuse box. The battery light did not come on but the car was throwing crazy codes and the safety belt and airbag light were on the fritz. If it keeps giving you issues I have no idea what it could be.

Oh ok
My car is haunted I think
This battery light is driving me crazy already.
2 difrent alternators and 3 different batteries and still getting random on off batt light sometimes I also loose electric power steering .
I have a X4 tuner and can see the voltage and if it drops below 12v it loses the power steering .
It will randomly just do it. Sometimes shutting it down and starting it back up will fix the issue for a while.
I'm at a loss.
Ive checked every ground and have also went through the fuse and relay boxes but no changes.
My voltage will be up at around 15v sometime and drop to as low as 9v on others.
Damn this car is making me sick..
I truly need help on this one..

My only knowledge able advice it to disconnect power and check all fuses and connections ons and put a dielectric compound on everything. Other than that the dealership will probably have to get involved.

The alarm is actually an easier repair/diagnosis.

Activate the panic alarm 4 times from the fob. Lock the car and wait for the alarm to sound. In the B.C.M. there are four alarm event PIDS that will tell you what caused the alarm to set.

Once you know what opening is causing the event you may be able to perform circuit diagnosis/inspections to isolate the fault. Like you could bypass the ajar switch in the door.

Thanks for the info.
I will try that as soon as I can and update on how it went.
