Hi omustang99,

Are the dash lights showing when ignition key is turned to ON? Should not be ECM. Did you check the ground wires? This guide can help us fix it

Hi there, Here is the Starting circuit diagram.

Therre are no starting module for the starter. If you have not tested the starter, disconnect the solenoid wire and apply battery voltage to it with a remote wire. If starter works, check the starter relay. If equipped with security system, close all doors and use key to lock and unlock to deactivate the system.
