The Facts are simple.
The car ran for 6 days perfectly with no problems
Last friday I get up to go to work i turn the key no response just the dash lights, the radio, the door unlocks all work but car will not start or even attempt to crank.
I take the car to a Five Star dealer with certified crossfire techs. They tell me that there are 2 wires touching somewhere and that the tech is getting a code no communication to PCM. After approving more time for diagnosis they eventually tell me that the PINS ON MAIN CONNECTOR TO PCM AND BCM HAVE CORROSION. and that they believe the car was flooded and will not cover the PCM under the emission warranty. They showed me this corrosion it was not that bad. So since i don't have $5,000 for the parts I got the car towed back to my driveway.
I have since removed the RCM took it to work to look at it under magnifier and didn't spot any breaks in the joints but decided to go ahead and solder anyway. installed back in car and nothing still. and thats where I am at.
Where is the location of the starter safety lock I don't have a service manual or access to a lift but if it is accessible I would like to test it.
please elaborate more.
