I didn't have a single electrical issue on this car until the guy left those ground cables disconnected and I drove around like that for a while. My regular mechanic told me when he put it up on the rack after the hydrolock incident. Even though it's fixed it's still a nightmare (though not as bad), I don't know if it's the BCM, if a relay got fried or something (or several somethings) else.

This car has been great, I have had it for almost four years and have put in two new front bearings, new struts & mounts, new coil pack (I had to push my car the last block on the way to my first day of work lol), new DRL/turn signal lamp socket, new radiator and new power window motor on the driver's window (stuck down at drive-thru when it was pouring rain, that was a fun drive home) . Considering it is a 98 and has over 180k that's not bad at all.

The guy at the transmission place said he would pay a mechanic he knows to fix all that got messed up. That was 10 days ago, they kept my car for a week and returned it exactly the same way. I literally emptied my bank account on the transmission rebuild and then the engine, otherwise it would be at my mechanic and I would just send the other guy the bill. I'm giving him one last call tomorrow, I want to have a general clue of what might be wrong rather than "it's broken!" for when I talk to him. I think this is probably going to end up in court though the way it's looking.
