Default Security Light, Radio LOCKED, Voltmeter Down

Hi all, looking for a little advice here...am away in middle of nowhere on vacation with family when of course all this happens..car still starts....still runs....from what i have read on here it seems to be a BCM, Passlock issue...my question is...is the battery actually charging? Will i be able to drive family home or am i in for a nightmare? Any advice appreciated..thanks in advance.

Have an 2003 3.8 SS

You seem to have some sort of wiring issue, i'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to PASSLOCK though, maybe someone else will jump in and let you know if this seems to be a passlock issue or not

The easiest way to tell if the alternator is charging the battery would be to check voltage at the battery with the engine running. If you don't have a meter this is a service usually provided for free at a lot of auto part stores like O'Reilly, AutoZone, Advance, etc.
