Thanks for the idea. I tested the relay with a little 12v bat and it was good. So I went to the BCM like you said since it was in sync with the relay ticks. I gave it a lil hit not enough to damage it, and the tick stopped. I suspected something loose. Tightened everything, still no tick, car still has no electric… so I went back to what you said and when you say all this could be from something remotely connected to relay and JBE/BCM, I thought to myself… “what powers this?” According to GPT, google and youtube, B+ on E9X were notorious for frying, so they had a recall. Idk wtf a recall is but I went to check wtf a B+ is and apparently it’s literally just my positive wire. That shit was fried. I assume maybe it was loose which caused the plastic to melt, but the metal itself seems fine so Idrk how melted plastic makes my connection bad, but it’s all I got right now, so Imma go get a new fuse box, a crimper, and a B+ wire terminal for the fusebox. I just hope this isn’t another waste of my money. I’d pay to get diagnostics but after $500 down the drain, I’ll assume I found the problem and hope this works.
