Re: Mystery no start issue
Quick Update: 8-28-08
Just picked up the '05 Crossfire from the San Diego dealer. They very kindly replaced the relay control module as a "customer satisfaction courtesy." I'm pleased, as the car is just out of warranty. The dealer, frankly seemed relieved as well. I think they are sick of seeing our Crossfire. They're just as frustrated as we are (almost.)
Drove it home, and ran some errands. Several opportunities to stop and re-start the vehicle.
Flawless so far!
I requested the old module to take home to troubleshoot. As Chrysler paid for the replacement, the service advisor informed me that she can't release it until she gets permission from Chrysler to dispose of the part. (Since I didn't pay for the new part, I don't have a right to the old one until permission is granted.) Fair enough.
If so, I'll pick it up next week to troubleshoot and report back with some pictures. I'll also be driving the Crossfire and giving it the real test! Being as it got so bad that we couldn't go more than two days without a no-start issue, I think we'll know if this was the "fix" in short order.
Back in a week with a continued report.......................
So far, we're looking good!
Thanks again for all the advice on the board.
