  • After informative discussion with GannyX, I searched out a working DRB-3 and got the car in to be scanned - Thanks again James
  • To maybe help others in the Mid-Ohio Valley area, I found DRB-3 with Chrysler card at Kinchloe Motors in Parkersburg, WV
  • Scan showed 2 items saved;
    • BCM scan showed open circuit at Siren
    • SKREEM scan showed driver's cylinder lock switch sense (unlock short to ground)
  • Left car at shop for them to track down ground issue, which they approached by sequentially disconnecting/checking each item on Fuse #9
  • Short found, in of all places, the wiring to the dome light. A screw holding in passenger side visor had been run in between the 2 wires to dome light and over time had worn through insulation and shorted the 2 wires to each other. Just a highlight to everyone that wiring in that area runs very close to the visor screws.
  • With the dome light wiring patched up everything is working perfectly again and problem codes are nor reappearing

I found it quite interesting that the scan results pointed to a couple issues that were not related to the root problem. I thought it would be a problem in the driver's door after seeing the scan results, but obviously a grounded circuit can be tricky.

Anyway, I wanted to publicly thank James, another huge help from MSS that didn't result in any gain to them. Very commendable. Hopefully the DRB-3 source and experience with where the wiring failed may be helpful to another Crossfire owner in the future. Thanks to everyone for their input and assistance with my problem.
Thank you for the update and information!
