    Could also be the 16-pin connector on the HEVAC failing ? I definitely need to replace the connector on my Green P38. All the motors & potentiometers test ok with a 9V battery & the flaps are def not sticking.

    Just look for the same version on eBay. If you're replacing the electrochromic with a standard mirror, get one of those. Up to 1998 had 3-wire, but 1999 onward have 5-wire connections. Earlier type with cover over the mount...

    Not everything. Disconnect the blue antenna wire only. Once you sort the FOB, it will work next to the window (near the receiver), but local RF interference will no longer wake the BECM & drain the battery.

    Red box is AM/FM amplifier. Says so on it. Window thing is aftermarket whatever. Last pic is he RF receiver & blue wire is the antenna to disconnect.

    Also check the wires inside the MAF connector. They are rather close to the EAS pipes on GEMS, so could have an intermittent connection.

    Four possibilities: No power, no audio feed, blown amp, or blown speakers. Scrappers always say either "working when removed", or "tested & working". Personally I don't believe either on electrical parts!!

    Usually RF interference waking the BECM, so disconnect the RF antenna from the receiver. It's under the offside rear shelf.

    RF interference (loads on here) or aftermarket stereo draining it - usually switched and permanent live mixed up. Or headlight wipers not parked properly.

    Although I agree it's unlikely to be the IACV, worth checking & cleaning anyway. Are all the LPG hose secure on the manifold ? Prob worth cleaning the throttle body & checking for leaks there as well.
