All of those things are run off the BCM (Body Control Module) Are you sure you didnt hook (+) and (-) on the battery wrong? Even for a second? The BCM is very suseptable to reverse polarity. There may even be a fuse or relay for the BCM, not sure.

What year is the truck?

sorry guys 2001 QC 4x4 5.9L, 46re

Never unhooked the POS of BATT. Fuses under hood dont look bad. fuses in fuse box look good also. Where is BCM?
Disconn NEG on batt for 20 mins, started 3 times on 3rd time let it idle, still no luck.
PLZ HELP QUICK!!!

Sounds more like the CTM (central timing module) Dealer only fix as they have to program it. If that is the case kiss about $400 goodbye.

You should be able to get the CTM from a junkyard but I think you will still have to get it programmed by the dealer but don't quote me on that. According to my manualthe illustrationlooks like it's behind the drivers side kick plate.

I will call some junkyards today to see what happens......thanks. Is there any way it could be a multi-function switch? I have read that the CTM can be reset by pulling the pwr door lock fuse for at least a full minute...ever heard of this? Thanks again....
