PCM/BCM crashed, no start? I just reflashed my PCM for a gear change and I can't get it started. I tried flashing it back to stock, no start. We got on a scanner, there is a crank signal but no injector pulse or ignition. Its looking like the PCM and BCM are not communicating and the BCM has failed! We think its related to the VATS, codes are 12,25,35,55. Its now at the GM Dealer, my buddy is a drivability tech, he is going to try a reflash on Monday. Is it possible and probable that something crashed when I did the reflash or one mother of a coinsidence? Thanks, Les.

The start relay is located in the under hood fuse box next to the cooling fan relay, Les...
