Re: How to Repair Relay Control Module (RCM) - (Mystery no Start)
Mechanic said ive got "some kind of electrical issue". Sent my RCM to tighe, but him resoldering didnt fix the issue and i trust his work. So i am ordering one. It was suggested that i try an RCM from a working crossfire and see of my car starts...i have access to one, same year and everything, just the bad *** package...anyway my question is, if its not the RCM and i put a working RCM in my car, will whatever issue i have RUIN or blow up their RCM (lets assume my issue ISNT the RCM, but im sure it is cuz he tried it in his crossfire and it didnt work after he resoldered)? Think there is any miniscule chance of ruining theirs at all?

It was his suggestion. I will ask someone to look into your suggestion, (beyond my kniwledge) Ed. It was at a mechanic for a week, I would think he tried that but i dunno

Brand new battery btw and terms good. No turnover, but lights radio and the (super jet engine loud) fan works... mechanic didnt tell me much before he gave up other than he couldn't even get it to start even with jumping the starter, or something like that. Couldnt run diag cuz he couldnt get the computer on to get the codes. He was once great but retired after a stroke and picks and chooses what he wants to do and he said finding my electrical malfunction wasnt one if them. Thats all i know. It ran, then sat for 6 months, then started, died after a minute while idling, did that maybe once more, and never again after

I believe that the problem is in your RCM.
When I tried to start my car with your RCM (after repair) my car would not start.
Started fine with my RCM.
Sure would have liked to have kept your RCM so I could have figured out why it wouldn't work.
Keep us updated.

You sent it back not working ?
Gotta be more to this story line.
Re: How to Repair Relay Control Module (RCM) - (Mystery no Start)
Yup. Sent it back "repaired" but still not working.
I try for a fast turn around and asked if she wanted it back and she said yes. Would have required additional time to troubleshoot and I didn't have the time. Otherwise I would have kept it and tinkered with it. So I sent it back as requested.
Still wondering what was wrong with it. Never saw one act that that.

Re: How to Repair Relay Control Module (RCM) - (Mystery no Start)
convertible top :
1. do the windows go down when you open the front of the top ? ( ignition on, windows up, turn D handle and push up on top )
2. have you checked the cargo switch ? ( drivers side trunk where the rod fits in the socket )
3. have you checked the top unlatched switch ( right above passengers ear )
4. have you checked the trunk latched switch? ( part of the latch assembly )
doors won't lock unlock :
1. only with fob, or both with fob and panel switch ?
NOTE !!! Fuse 9 in the underhood fuse block blown will cause BOTH of the above conditions.
auto open gas cap - you got me on that one. new feature you added ?
radio won't go off: no clue

3. have you checked the top unlatched switch ( right above passengers ear ) WHAT??!! NOW I WANT TO
4. have you checked the trunk latched switch? ( part of the latch assembly ) OMG MORE GOOGLING
doors won't lock unlock :
1. only with fob, or both with fob and panel switch ? PANEL WON'T UNLOCK. WILL CHECK WITH BOTH FOBS
NOTE !!! Fuse 9 in the underhood fuse block blown will cause BOTH of the above conditions. SPECTACULAR TO KNOW!! I planned on googling all this once I drove it home, I sincerely appreciate the response and I will post my findings tomorrow
auto open gas cap - you got me on that one. new feature you added ? SORRY, what I meant is the doorshave to be able to unlock for me to get it open. ONCE the lock issue is fixed, so will the gas door

This divider has a rod at the top that snaps into sockets on the left and right side.
On the drivers side of this socket there is a switch that tells the top control module that the divider is in the correct position.
