If I could be assured I had a knowledgeable mechanic like you, I might feel different, but it's a roll of the dice to take it to just any old dealer. Trusting the last one when they said it was the BCM shows where it gets you; $365 (could easily have been a lot more) down the drain.
I've found, at least around here, your better off doing it yourself, or taking it to the old time mechanic down the street. Dealers around here have No knowledge of the older vans. Had mine in once, they quoted me $800 to replace tie rod ends (1 side), took it to a local small shop, cost me $200 (for all 4).

Just going through and cleaning connections/grounds may find and solve issues for you.

Yeah it does quite often. There are a lot of really powerful short finding tools, but they are all worthless for DTC wiring. If it's not DTC based it could make finding the problem relativily easy.

Also, I couldn't agree more. I know from hard experience that you can keep trying stuff and still spend half of what most mechanics, even small independent ones, will charge you to basically do the same thing..
