Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Still sounds like a BCM but I really can't help from here, if I was still at the job I could talk to the guy who do that stuff all day. One thing I do sometimes is test the voltage on different fuses related to the circuits in question. If you get low voltage on a fuse that could be a clue, like 8 or 9 volts and the others are 12. Try to find grounds and make sure they're good.

You could probably get Netflix to buy a miniseries from you about this. I'd watch.

Saw a Camaro with the 3.4 v6 where someone installed a heavy duty clutch and the extra force would wear out the thrust bearing on the crankshaft. Coming to a stop the engine would stall because the crank would move so far forward it would lose the crank sensor signal. I learned something that day.
I've heard of that, just never knew anyone that actually experienced it. Nice.

So much is a request, nowadays. Look in the BCM, see if there is a request for the particular signal, see if stuff can be operated with the scan tool, and as big john says, check fuses. First time I saw one dim headlight on a later model GM, I was ready to get busy.... Luckily, the first thing I do is pull a wiring diagram, and give it a look. I saw separate fuses for the right and left headlight (???) Left side was blown, and voltage was back feeding through the right circuit to the left bulb.

I reasoned that my neck is prone to the same issue.
THE CURE
Roll neck slowly left. Try not to break anything by rushing it. Then roll slowly to right. Repete a few times. Then reach to the back of the neck and you should feel one vertebrae that seems to be protruding. Push it around from left to right a few time and you should feel it pop back into place.

I do some neck exercises almost daily to maintain strength in the effected muscles and this helps minimize recurrence.
My vertebrae problems may come (my younger sister already had neck surgery), but this is pretty clearly a muscle pain.

It occurs to me this is a hard muscle to "rest." Even when I lay down it doesn't seem completely relaxed.

A bundle of nerves runs down inside vertebrae. If the vertebrae is displaced, some of those nerves get pinched. Sometimes the pinched nerve may effect an arm of something well removed from the pinched area.

check your bulbs. DO you have separate parking lights? Like the others suggested check your fuses too.
That is a weird one

OK one more car story. Had a truck that wouldn't start, had spark, injector pulse, fuel pressure and would almost fire up but as soon as it seemed like it was going to run it would peter out. 7.4 v8, high miles and it almost sounded like it was flooded. Crank sensor rpm seemed strange. Turned out the crankshaft was cracked but you could pry on the balancer and it wouldn't budge. Took a chance and pulled the balancer off and threaded a long bolt into the crank and when I leaned on the bolt, I could see the crank was broken. Was happy to find that.

I'm no doctor but I'm going with muscle. I'm going to try stretches/rolls to see if it helps.
