Car was driving fine, had the code of immobilizer pop up every now and then had water on passenger floor the BCM or CEM shorted out. Replaced the old BCM cem with a new one from same make and model. No power at all, no headlights, no crank, no clicks, and no dash lights. I replaced the ground wire that was melted. What could be the problem? Could it be relays? I checked out fuses and fuses are good and don't see any more burnt up or melted wires.

Hello, if this is a new, fresh CEM (Central Electronic Module) then the module will have to be programmed. If you do not have the software to program it, then you may have to tow the car to the dealer for programming. I will give the instructions for replacing the CEM for others to read as well. There are some companies like ECU Maverick or Flagship One that sell pre-programmed modules. I would check them out!

Remove:
- the 2 clips
- the soundproofing panel. Pull straight down, then backwards.

Removing the central electronic module (CEM) / relay box
Remove:
- the 2 screws
- the control module / relay box. Fold down and pull towards you.

NOTE: Ensure that the control module / relay box is in the lower position when you remove it from the mounting.

- the cable ties
- the connectors.

NOTE: Note the location of the relays.

Remove relays and fuses from the control module / relay box.

HINT: For the location of the relays and fuses, see:

- Wiring diagrams for relevant model year.
- Decals at both the relay box and the fuse box in the car
- Pocket Data Booklet
- Owner's Manual.
