Ok..so I just talked to the dealership parts department about this BCM and the overthe counter price is $127.90.So it seems like she isnt trying to rip me off there at least.
Can anyone,based upon what I have stated here tell me how in anyway I can be the cause of this mishap?
If someone can show me what EXACTLY I did wrong,I have no probs in paying the $100 for unit...But noone has proven anything yet...
Please...More input on this....Thanks...

if you lost connection on the brown wire to the vehicle it COULD cause problems with the BCM. However, we install remote starters and almost never energized the brown wire.
Havn't had one come back yet.
I think she had a problem and now you're paying for it.

What a raw deal... never work on someone's car for free (or at least get a waiver). I once offered to take a former co-worker's minisystem to our repair tech for her. I left it in my old Toyota Van in my underground garage in downtown Vancouver and sure enough the "broken" stereo was stolen. Of course she accused me of scamming her (apparently like all the other men she knew had) so she cried and I bought her a new stereo (but she was very hot and she did make it up to me later). So, $350 later I learned 3 things:
1) Don't leave anything in a Scissor Van
2) Don't leave anything in an underground garage
3) Anytime you are doing someone a "favour" ask yourself -- "if something goes wrong, am I screwed?"
4) No one rides for free

1. Never cut a wire, solder onto it that way the connection is never cut.
2. Working for free is a joke, it will bite you in the ***.
3. Cheap people are cheap people and they can all **** off............
4. Learn this simple phrase " Lick my ***** "
5. Use #4 with any and all problem customer when they are scaming you unless you work for FS then just bend over, self lubricate and pay the damage claim.
