At first, it would run rough at times, then the shifting started to clunk, then it just stopped working.
Turn the key, and something just clicks. Sometimes see ERR on radio display.
Got worse, and eventually everything quit working.
Yes, the battery is charged.

Was told it was the ECM. Bought a new one, sent the guy my VIN, and have installed the module now.

Went through the instructions to program - Turn key to start motor, then to on, leave 10 minutes until Security light goes off. Turn off for 5 seconds, then repeat 2 more times for a total of 30 minutes.

Did that, and it at least started clinking again when I turn ignition to Start.
But, leave it in the On position, and it will sound a buzzer for about 30 seconds, flash the battery light, the fuel gauge goes back and forth, and sometimes the radio display flashes.

Decided to leave it like that for an hour to see if it was still trying to learn or something, but nothing changed.

Is there something else I should be checking?

Thanks!
 
I would test the battery to ensure that its good, did the clicking sound like it was coming from the under the hood? and does it only happen when you turn it over? if so sounds like starter is not getting enough juice or the starter is dead.
