Here's the update. I got the old "CLP/SSM" out and replaced it with the used one I got a few years ago. There is NO evidence of any water having been on this unit... all connectors have shiny copper showing--no discoloration or "green" at all. Plastic has NO sign of water, nor does the foam around it. So, I plugged everything in, and as usual... NOPE... the little vacuum motor is not operating, thus I can't LOCK or UNlock the doors. Lights flash with the FOB, but nothing else happens... sigh. The blinking red light is now off, so that is good (I think), but that little electric motor isn't running, and I would have thought it would immediately after powering it up by connecting the battery again. I've started the vehicle and tried the lock/unlock with NO movements, then shut the car off and tried with NO movements. I did notice that I can 'hear' what sounds like a solenoid operating when I push the "lock" button on the dash, but that's probably the electric lock for the fuel cap? Sigh... great cars when they work, but...
