Car won't start - no cranking
Car won't start - no cranking
I have a 2005 limited that I bought used with 93K miles on it. LOVE my car but about 4 months ago I tried to start it and nothing. Thought it was an I isolated incident but I was wrong. Now she won't start at all....all lights, radio, etc work but the engine will not even crank..starter does not even click. I have a crankshaft sensor on order but was wondering if it could be a clutch switch. Has anyone replaced the clutch switch? I also checked the RCM and the solder points look great!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Miss driving my baby!!
Re: Car won't start-no cranking
Could be the RCM but it also could be the starter............or the battery, or an electrical connection........or, or, or.
Unfortunately, symptom of similar nature make it hard to diagnoss with limited info and access. In these cars, check out the normal problem areas associated with these symptoms (not the CPS in this case). But, in my experience, it sounds like it might be a starter. Good luck and post us with the outcome.

With "not even a click".. your CPS should just be kept as a spare. You don't have a white cased battery sitting in there do you? My "new" 06 roadster has the white OEM Varta.. knew it was going to need replaced very soon. Spoiler raised up the other day after starting to confirm this. Check those connections and trace ground wire to chassis and make sure it's got good contact.
RCM - "Looks Great".. was that under magnification? Most "look great" to the naked eye.

Well the battery looks great already pulled of connectors an cleaned them and also applied battery terminal protectant. I did not look under magnification but will do so this weekend. I have not had anything weird when I turn the key ie: spoiler popping up or lights flash. Thanks for the info about the CPM, will keep as a spare!
Thank you for the info..will keep you guys posted on my progress!

Re: Car won't start-no cranking
Yes, except it won't crank all day. 3 times without starting, then you have to disconnect the negative battery lead to reset the SKREEM.
Re: Car won't start-no cranking
More coffee George! CPS failure it will crank till the battery says no more... Security system malfunction requires the battery reset..

Re: Car won't start - no cranking
Relax.. it's not rocket science.. anyone who deals in soldering on a circuit board can do it blind folded..
Re: Car won't start - no cranking
Any electronic repair shop can solder it for you. Try Comtronics.
Re: Car won't start - no cranking
Sorry for the long delay in replying but the holiday craziness has started. Tighed1 was awesome and said that I could send it to him but I would not have gottenine back before I went home for the holiday. That being said I had a friend of mine resolder the RCM points and Whoo hoo!!! all seems to be going great and she starts every turn!! Thank you to everyone who was nice enough to post on my thread with all the advice!!
