I've tried replacing relays to no avail

It has something to do with the circuit board internally from what I have gleaned. A resistor goes out or something. Maybe if SV still has one, I will take it apart and see what I can see.

Yep, thats the thread. Tried that mod to no avail on multiple modules. I had actually started to engineer a direct replacement but had given up because I need better programing skillz.

Sweaer, if you are willing to donate the module, I will donate the time/skillz. If I get it working, I will fix your also. For some reason I think you wrre in missoula, correct? If so, let's fogure out a time/place for me to pick that module up from you!

Yeah we should get some sort of end of season gtg thrown together. BTW, does the left rear window regulato work in that car? If so, I could use that also. That I can come pull out if needed.

Look for earlier cc modules.... i got a factory one from a 250k car (94' gls) that works nice in my 97. has been goin strong for a year now
