Would the engine computer being burned cause the starter not to crank?

Sounds to me like they installed the wrong ign. switch. If it's killing the batt. now, you most likey have a current drain from a possible miss-wired switch.

I'm not going to go into details now, but do a current drain test on ALL the ignition, starter, and security fuses in the veh.

Remember...a battery doesn't drain itself that fast. And it's very possible that the BCM took a dump and is the cause of the current drain. That could be why you're getting no response from the sec light.

The battery was already dead when the locksmith got there, so I cant blame him for the battery dying.. I CAN blame him for the car not starting though... It SEEMS like he did the job like he was supposed to.. All relays click, traced the starter wire to the fusebox and it recieves power there... Its just not reaching the starter itself..
