He said that this could happen at anytime, a week, 4 months a year or years after fitment.
I've never heard of it happening before but was wondering how true it is and why it does it?

Could anyone shed any light on this?
The load resistors that are sold to prevent 'hyper-flash' are of the proper value and won't harm the BCM. Sounds more like a case of 'auto electrician' has absolutely no background in electronics.
