the dealer said they would look at it tomorrow so I hope to hear from them in the afternoon. dealer service writer said it sounds like the computer is bad. I will post back on the situation. I hate it when someone has a thread like this and never post back what fixed it. thanks

They are out of Savana vans. I'm not sure on the years. Suppose to be 2010, but I think one or both are older.

Yeah ouch. But even a used BCM, the programming, everything else. The cost would have been up there. They raped me $150 or $200 just to program a radio. I don't remember the cost, it was way up there.
