Alright... battery power yes, but it ALWAYS came on (that little pump) when I turned the KEY on, and before it would crank over. So the key must have something to do with energizing that little pump... This problem only started when that little pump stopped working so it seems. I did just 'park' and go away, come back a day later and the problem was there. I've downloaded a bunch of manuals and will begin reading on the "Vehicle Theft and Security" section right away. Thank you. Here's where I 'seem' to be right now... I installed the "replacement" module and the flashing red light stops, and I can start and drive the car. NO locks are working via the FOB, but I can manually lock the doors from inside, and using the lock button on the dash, my doors are locking and unlocking electrically, but NO vacuum. The fuel door has remained unlocked which is fine with me... at least I can drive and fuel the car while I am reading and trying to figure out this mess. Thank you, again, for all your help. BoB
