How well did you clean the silicone off your contacts on your PCM?
And i hope your keys remained in your pocket from the time you pulled your PCM until you re-installed your PCM!!

Make sure the cable that goes into the back of it is in correctly. Some have been known to plug them in upside down

Did you folllow the instructions and the keys were not in the ignition when you installed it?

Check the cable that goes into the switcher first you can clean the pcm contacts too much

When you clean it again just clean it until you see some brass color that worked for me.

You did hook the PCM cable back up under the hood, right?
