[QUOTE="Will_K, post: 21417, member: 7902"] Negative cable connected, positive cable disconnected, so the positive terminal contacted the metal case of the ECU and had a path through ground to the negative battery terminal. I was doing something in the engine compartment and knocked the ECU off of whatever it was sitting on - probably the fuse box cover - and it contacted the metal bottom. The alarm was a pain in the ass. Unlike most videos it didn't have a seperate starter disconnect. That seemed to have been integral to the alarm brain. I removed all modules and got no crank, I reconnected a couple modules and I was able to start. Then I just started removing spliced in wires and never found one where a wire was cut to connect in the alarm system. My thought was that the alarm system was probably actually put in as an attempt at a cheap fix to a BCM problem. But I can't test any theory including that one until I solve the problem of no electrical power to anything. [/QUOTE]
