need to track where the power or ground stops. check for power at your fuses. if power is there check grounds. not sure on the newer style but on the lt the ground for that stuff is on the door jam area under the kick pad on the driver side.

Did you say you just reflowed your BCM earlier this week? That seems very coincidental.

Do you know anyone else with a similar Camaro?

yes i reflowed but we checked the bcm, friend has same model year type of camaro and we put his bcm in ( he only has 54k miles) and nothing changed. so ive ruled that out.
i did just notice the TAIL LPS and guage fuse was blown. so i changed the gauge but the TAIL LPS blows as soon as it touches the fuse box.

sounds like its shorted to ground, follow the wire harness in the hatch area to see if you can find anything

Its good that its working now, but you should still look for where it shorted. Just a bump in the road or shutting the trunk a little to hard might jar it back into place and you blow your fuse once more....
