Re: How to Repair Relay Control Module (RCM) - (Mystery no Start)
I am so glad I joined this forum. The caliber of people and the intellect is amazing along with the desire to help one another through the troubleshooting process. I wish there was a national rally every year so members from across the country could get together, food for thought.

It is apparently too much to ask for new members to READ THE OBVIOUS STICKYs on the forum.
I f-ing give up.

Every time I hear that name I lol at how we (locals) pronounce it.

Thought I would give an update regarding my crossfire. After resoldering the RCM and replacing the pulse module I took it up to the dealership that and they found out that the SKREEM module was bad as well as the ignition. Apparently the latter has to be ordered direct from the manufacturer and needs to be programmed to sync up with a computer. Parts and labor came out to be 2900 in repairs. Thanks for everyone helping me out and trying to keep the cost of repairs down.

Your account get hacked? This isn't the typical Pizzaguy post.

Thank you, thank you, your information on The No Start issue and Horn fix was a life saver. I pulled the board out and compared it to your photos and thought that mine didn't look bad But since I had it out I would resolder the circuit board. I also figured I would do the horn fix. Well when I put everything back in the car, the engine fired right up and the horn works with the key out of the vehicle. Once again I can't thank you enough for your contributions to this forum.

Well my thunder was short lived. It fired right up, I went for a drive and came home. Went to start it later last night and nothing. I pulled the board back out and took my magnifying glass to check the solder joints and all looked good. Put the board back in and hooked the battery back up and the car started then died. It did that three times and then nothing again. On the bright side the horn still works. Lol.

Try this :
Unhook the negative battery cable.
Turn the key all the way on and leave it for 15 minutes or so.
Turn the key back off.
Hook the battery back up.
Try it. ( and may the odds be forever in your favor )
This will heretofore be known as the "Universal Crossfire Reboot" or "Cure for the Crossfire blue screen"
This has been reported to work for others with the three strike and you are out scenario.
