my 04 xlr is not turning on.... would the suspension control module have something to do with it or ftc module

[xlr&ls1]

My reservoir on the trunk got full of water ... and i remove the two modules and they were full of corrosion and rust.. so i remove them clean the reservoir and now im trying to start the engine and as soon as i push the start with my foot on the pedal the car shusts down with all the lights .. after 10seconds the instrmentpanel lights come on again ...every time you turn it on d the lights shuts down...

With out having the modules plug in would that cause for the car not to start....because before the car start fine eventhoug the module were really fried and full of corrosion

Did you unhook the battery before doing the work? It sounds like a bad connection to me, maybe double check the battery connections.

Yeap i answer my own question ... i put back the crispy rusted corriosion module back and the car turn on as it should .....

So that module controls more stuff than just the suspension .or the water didnt damage it completly as i though

Correct, the connectors complete a circuit. You either need to jumper some pins, I forget which, or plug the bad module in. You are not out of the woods yet.
