battery

Kenna, bless her heart got the ECM installed. She knows what tools are what, all I had to do was tell her which drawer to look in. Everything is installed and I still have a no start. The battery was disconnected until the ECM and TCM were plugged in to make sure it couldn't arc or fry something and then she reattached the battery
So I have run out of things I can check and patience so I'm having it towed to the shop next Wednesday to have it diagnosed. There's a few things that could possibly be wrong. The key may have lost it's handshake with the ignition, bad park/neutral switch, bad ignition switch. The alarm isn't active according to the dash light. The BCM could have a fault but I don't think so because all the car functions it controls are working. There could be a problem in the fuse box or the wiring. I've tested all the relays and fuses, I pulled each fuse and tested for continuity because I once had a fuse that wasn't burnt looking but was bad. I've run out of things to check. I don't mind having replaced ECM because now I have a spare in case I ever need it. It frustrating not knowing what's wrong but I'm sure the shop will figure it out and hopefully it's something I can fix myself.

@agent008 how long did you know your wife before you asked her to marry you.

We never married, I sometimes joke that we're still dating and the dating phase is the best phase of s relationship 😁

Our relationship became ever more serious little by little. Before we decided to meet, we talked online (presented to each other virtually by a friend we had in common) for about 3 months. Both working hard and late nights and would chat on MSN while doing late night office work. We first had the opportunity to know each other's personality by talking to each other, before we had a chance to like each other physically. After a few months talking we decided to meet in person and at first it seemed we didn't click so mutual interest kinda cooled down. Until new years eve, when I sent a text to my whole contact list, but the lines were congested and the phone kept reporting "send failed" and I kept resending. She told me later she received more than 20 texts from me with the same new years message after the 10th text or so she decided to reply with something funny. We started talking again and when Carnival came she invited me to a party at a friend's house. (There's no big carnival here down south like Rio, it's more of a holiday and parties). We started seeing each other again and as time went on I invited her to travel with me to the beach. There I took her to dinner at a fancy place and asked her to be my GF. Then slowly by slowly I started spending more and more nights at her place. When we were together for about a year I bought a house she told me she liked but I didn't tell her. After a couple months I thought it was time and I surprised her with the keys. But we only moved in together the next year. So you can say we took it little by little and we moved in together (which is what I consider when we "married") after more than 2 years... By then I was spending more nights at her place than at my parents '... 😁
