Default Help with Body Control Module/Smart Junction Box!?

Hey there!
This is my first time posting so I'm not sure I'm in the right place for this! I am having a terrible time with my 2008 F150 🤦🏻‍♀️. I believe I've narrowed down my issues to the body control module which I've found might also be called the smart junction box?
I had all sorts of electrical issues that started up, beginning with the instrument cluster, and included the AC and some interior lights. They would intermittently stop working while I was driving then come back normally whenever it felt like it. Now I have a no start situation too. I have been looking for the BCM but can't find it to see what shape it's in. Where can I find it in a regular cab '08 f150?
Or is there something else I can dig into to try to diagnose these issues?! 🙏

Honestly not sure,. I'd inspect the area below the driver's door on the frame rail and see if you've got corrosion in that connector.

Have you checked the output voltage on the alternator?
