hey there!

im thinking the black box is the BCM- someone in another Tibby forum told me that may be the cause of my issues... i tried to get to it just now but i cant seem to get the panel below the steering column off so i can get at the box... i see there are two screws on the bottom part but taking those out hasnt helped.. how did you remove yours?

 

Here is a link to figure out how to remove the BCM...

This shows you how to fix a relay that is bad on the BCM. Apparently what i was talking about was not the BCM. If replacing this works please let me know, i am worried that when the radio is going out my brake lights are not working as well.

 

You have to scroll down and use the rapidshare link on the page. I downloaded it so dont worry about virus'

 

The flashing red light under the dash is usually an indicator that there is an aftermarket alarm system installed on the vehicle. I would check for that first and see if you see and poorly made splices into your wiring harness under the dash. That is what the problem with your radio is sounding like. As for the other problems I would check your ETACS/BCM fuse if thats ok. I know these Tibs have a good rep for the BCMs dieing.
