Ok so the title of this will immediately make you think it is a RCM or a SKREEM issue. I did too, but here is the story
2005 Convertible Crossfire
- Battery light came on for a few days, stupidly I ignored it as my car seems to have many idiot lights come on randomly then go out so I waited to see if it would go out..... it did, along with all ability to start the car
- had my car towed back to my house. I replaced the battery with a brand new one (old one was completely dead but under warranty)
- contacted DJ Tighe and him and I ran through some tests listed below
- RCM tested and seems ok, both relays close with key in ignition - DJ approved
- we then test the Power Module ( I think ) and we were able to determine that there was power getting to the starter when it was by-pass from the wire (applied 12v directly to the connection)
- we also tested that there was 12V getting to the wire but when connected the starter wont engage
- When I manually closed the relay when applying power the starter did engage but the car would not start.

As it sits I am able to engage the key but the car does not turnover or crank at all. in order to keep trying to turnover I need to turn key to off position then try again still nothing happens, I am not able to turn key and have it simply go to the ON position and try to crank again, the key won't move. I spoke briefly with the MSS team and they had me look inside my trunk for any moisture which I could not see. One reason was that the car at one point seemed to be having an alarm issue. Which is odd as I disconnected the alarm last year but the thought was that it might be alarm related and the car was locked out of starting for some reason. I am pretty sure I unplugged the siren module last year as I totally removed the siren (is there a plug in that I may have missed ?)

I am at a total loss of what to do next.
