electrical systems not working :S
the heating/ac blows air but the control to switch between the two is broke, sometimes i get a/c others i get heat.
the a/c button, rear defrost, and circulation buttons work but are very unreliable, like the a/c heater
boost gauge isnt working, and neither is the cruise control.
any help would be greatly appreciated. i dont want a new ecu... but i might have to, i heard they aren't reliable with mods
05 cobalt ss/sc

any work on your car done recently that involved drilling through the firewall? Geniuses drilled through my main wiring harness once and caused me problems...
If you haven't had audio work done, etc. have you had your car jumped recently? Sometimes BCMs get butthurt after the car's been jumped. Pull off your negative battery cable and let it sit for about 10 minutes so the BCM turns off. Reattach it and see if anything changes. If not, go get your BCM checked out at the stealership.

i replaced them all prior to posting this iniatally. but it turns out that the one keeps blowing over and over now. the car sat for 2 years before i bought it and started doing work so when there were blown fuses i really didnt think much of it at first.
and since it was snowing all day today, and i have no garage (just the dorm parking lots) i wasnt really able to get much done.
