Looks like you have overlooked a ground or power connection somewhere. Check the main fuses under the windshield. There is also a ground point just by there as well that can get missed

Noooo, unless you have mismatched keys and ecus etc then yes but not just an engine swap. Have you gone through the fuses and wiring connection points in box under the ecu? Defo must me a wire not connected or a ground

thank you DrGer. that helped alot. I got a used comfort control module. now, when i open the door, i get mileage on the dash. i get to take the key out, which i wasnt able to do before. im still not starting. but atleast im getting communication with modules now. so i think maybe it needs to be programed.

so my guy came with his fancy computer. he said its still not powering up to communicate with the comfort control module. he says he can communicate with the abs and instrument cluster module but thats all. the dash says switch to park, i have a manual transmission. i firgured this used one came from an automatic. any suggestions from here?
atleast now i got the fob out of the dash, and when i open the door the center mesage center comes on, with the mileage and that note about putting it into park
