Electrical Problems

I am new to this board, anyways, I am the proud owner of a Torrid red/red 2004 GTO, No real problems to date 51,000 miles until about a month ago. I would be driving and the accessories (radio, windows and a/c) would shut off, all at the same time, the radio would turn back on however, the windows would not operate until I turned the car off and completely removed the key from the ignition. On Sunday, I was driving and everything turned on, I mean everthing, horn, lights (all), windshield wipers and windows (went down). I have never seen such a thing, Initially I thought ignition lock (have it not replaced yet) maybe the ignition switch (electrical) or the voltage regulator. Given that I had to disconnect the battery to turn the lights off, kind of ommits the voltage regulator, given the car is not running.
Any input, suggestions on past experience or ideas? I don't really want to pay a BUNCH of money to have someone diagnose to problem, then pay to have it fixed.

I'm thinking that the BCM- Body Control Module might be on the fritz.

It's located up under the glovebox. I'd have to look in my '04 shop manuals to see what functions the BCM controls. I know for fact it controls door lock function, because I had to wire the JHP door lock kit into the BCM. I'll see if I can find anything inthe manual later on.

Adam?? lol

I sent you an email saying I found a thread over on LS2GTO where someone had the same issues and it turned out to be the low speed fan relay. http://gtolocker.com/temp/gto/wtf.png Oddly enough.

Hey brother, Wasn't the low speed fan relay, oddly enough I just changed the high fan relay just before the issues began, HMMM! Well, I'll keep searching, going to take it to the shop after the bells and whistles on the 17th!! lol:suicide:

Thanks man, I haven't had any real issues until I changed the high fan relay. Then it all wnet down hill! Maybe a correlation maybe not?
