Just attempted a refresh. Same symptoms. It sounds like the motor control glitches out.

I just uninstalled my AP (restore to stock) for the upcoming locksmith visit. Fortunately PCM's are only $35 on ebay.

During this reflash, then uninstall I heard it do its glitchy sound many times. It's definitely not right and the TB Is brand new. Since its hardwired to the PCM and the first TB was corroded and then cleaned and (stupidly) packed with brake lube silicone, I'm guessing the silicone is not as dielectric as intended and caused a short.
Geez man, brake lube. Thats a first for me.

Hopefully the pcm swap and relash squares it away, and you hop on amazon and buy dielectric grease.
