    I recently noticed that the switch for my blind spot monitoring receives intermittent power and the system keeps turning on and off continuously. I turn the switch on and the green light that indicates it is on and has power turns off every couple of seconds but turns back on. Before I go tearing apart my dashboard, has anybody dealt with this before?

    I’m not taking it to the dealer for that, I’d rather fix it myself. Could be a bad relay, bad switch, broken wire, etc. Haven’t done any water crossing but I’ve started a thread before noting how the BSM would stop working while driving in an extremely heavy rain storm
