Default 96 camaro window & radio don't work

My 96 camaro's windows and radio don't work. The radio comes to life every once and while but dosnt stay on. I have read that it my be the power window control module , which I think is the rap module( retained accessory power) on a 95 camaro but not sure if it's the same thing.

My car is a 96 camaro v6 3.8, any help with this would be great, before I spend a bunch of money on parts that won't fix the problem.

Please help! thank you in advance..

Yeah if you're fuses at both sides are getting 12v+ then you're good. Only when it's below 12v should you check your battery for low voltage or loss of voltage through a bad ground.

So u don't think it's the module (pwc) ? On a 96 it located under dash on driver side almost behind radio. And where is the bcm located? Is it something I can check and repair or dealer? Also what do I check for to find the trouble in the bcm? Sry for all the ? Lol, just want this resolved, hate having no music lol...
