Buy a can of electrical switch cleaner and spray both the male and female connectors on all those items involved.
If that doesn't fix it, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer who can scan for communication issues and record the Live Data as it happens and what made the electronic throttle indicator light come on.

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator
This is the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicatorsymbol. This light, a lightning bolt between reversed brackets or parenthesis, will illuminate if there is a problem in the electronic throttle control system. As an electronic system, it can sometimes be reset with a restart.
Does your heater motor run when you turn speed dial ? Have you checked the two hoses that run from the engine compartment to the heater core ? When car is at operating temperature, carefully touch both hoses which should be warm or hot. If only one if hot, then you may have a bad actuator. If both are hot, you may have a clogged heater core or none functioning heater motor. or resister.
If motor is not working, check fuses, if good, then check for power at the switch and then at the heater motor.
code p-1687 is pcm hasn't received a data mes from dash gauge cluster for greater than 20 seconds , I did have a pick up pop up this code a year o so back , seems the wiper motor seals were rotted and allowed rain water to get to dash gauge cluster, it produced this code then < and no my memory isn't that good , I allways keep a file on the laptop of funny codes that folks come in here with , ive got it set to cross reference them to remind me of "last time" a code came in here , helps greatly !! with repeat offenders !!!! saves loads of time !!!!!
The instrument panel should not prevent it from starting. I would surmise that during the process of installing it either a harness got disconnected or a fuse was bliwn. Check all fuses in both fuse boxes first. Then reply with the following details: 1) does it turn over (crank) but not start? 2) you should be able to hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds when the key is turned on-does it? 3) any problems before the repair?
you gonna have to find the switch and check the wires are connected, if they are connected then it could be a fuse or a relay switch my be bad. there could also be a short or ground somewhere and wire tracing can be annoying
I had the same problem with a Mercury. It was the starter. Had a bad field winding. When I would try to start the engine the battery cables tried to straighten out. Might take a look at the battery cables when trying to start the engine.
Both of those codes are for your Cruise control.....P0582 Cruise control system, vacuum control -circuit openWiring, vacuum control solenoidP0594 Cruise control system, actuator control -circuit openWiring, actuator
Has to do with the transmission. Can be wiring/plugs from the PCM to trans, wiring inside the trans, or a solenoids inside the trans is shorting out. Have the codes read. Check the trans fluid also. When it gets low, it can cause a pressure code. This will throw it into limp mode.
Hi Im AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair.
Most likely the "IDLE SPEED MOTOR" is stuck or not working at all. Here's what I want you to do. Start the engine and let it idle, then take something like a small hammer and tap on the idle speed motor several times, then put it in drive and see if it dies. If it keeps running normal, then replace the Idle Speed Motor. Hope this helps and please visit my auto-repair-website here: http://www.bigasautorepair.com/
