Default need help asap..... bad bcm?

so i was driving along doing about 40 and my truck went insane

my power windows, power locks and radio dont work now, also the keless entry wont work.

i tried unhooking my battery for 3hrs and that did nothing......

Well, I've got the BCM out of my 06 if it will work and you need it. PM me if you get to that point and we can discuss price.

no not yet.

the guy who is trying to figure out whats going on says he has checked everything over in the truck for power and everything seems to be powering up fine.

he also checked over all the data lines and they are also working, also tried another pcm and bcm with no luck.

im not sure whats to check next, sounds like my truck is almost ready to get hauled away for scrap

I had a cluster go bad and it said "unknown driver" with only the speedometer and tach working, try removing the cluster from the truck and see if everything else works normal again.
