what a bone head I am.
when putting things back together, I accidently put the GPM on the incorrect stud of the starter solenoid on the pass fender support.
which leads directly to the solenoid on the starter.
12V would back feed through the module and cause what I was seeing...
atleast I think that was the issue.
after connecting it correctly my CEL went off as well.
doh!
