Before you go blaming the PCM, check your batteries. Low voltage makes many of the control modules do strange things. The electronic relays in GEM must need a certain voltage to stay open. The clicking relays is a sign of low voltage as well.

It could be as simple as low batteries. That wouldn't explain the phantom cranking, as none of the starter circuit controls go thru the GEM. Maybe you should keep that priest on retainer till you get it figured out.
