Damn that's crazy. Check out SJM on here, they have a kit. It's $$ but there's no guesswork.

heh I wonder if DTC 16 is the whole issue, being that the relay is toast.

That is a good idea. Switch around your relays and see what that does. Or if you have a voltmeter, test out that particular one.

The relay is brand new and all the grounds and connections are fine. Im beggining to think the EBCM has gone haywire. I will try switching the relays just for fun but if i cant figure it out i guess its time for a delete kit with line lock...
