    check all your fuses. if they're blown then im guessin maybe a bad earthing, hence the current running straight back through everything, or somethings shorted out and its finally taken its toll. you may have a far%ed relay somewhere too

    This is probably no help but I had a look at the wiring diagram for your car and the common theme with all the items you quote is indeed the BCM which you suspect. If it can be reset then its probaly done by disconnecting the battery for 30 secs or so. Good Luck.
