As for your RAP there are 3 main things that cause that to not work, First is the door pin switches. In your car from the factory they were on the cowl down near the lower hinge, and it is an actual pin switch. If the pin switches are the cause then usually the interior lights stay on for 20 mins before sutting off when you stop the car.
Corrosion can cause shorts and thus cause the failure as well. Remove the BCM from the car and inspect and clean with a toothbrush (not a wire brush) and some electrical contact cleaner. Now the last and most common is the solder joints on the board itself. Check this link out for info on fixing it

Hope this helps.

very good information here thanks massey....but as far as the grounds go...there are two of them that are right behind the headlights...but i took those off and cleaned underneath them....even took off a lil paint so i was for sure it would be on metal...i will check into the RAP for sure as well...
