Default Re: Another mystery no start

I've read through every "no start" tread I could find. This is what is happening and what I've done.

Car turns over once and then quits. Any further attempt to turn the key and the car does not turn over. However all the idiot lights and radio work.

Battery has been replaced. The RCM has been removed and all the points resoldered.

I think this is a key clue: Anytime the battery is disconnected and reconnected the car will turn over once and then quit. Before you try to start the car the horn and dome light work. After you try to start (car turns over once and quits) the horn no longer works and neither does the dome light. I was told that the dome light, horn and security are on the same fuse and the fuses have been checked and are fine.

All the threads I've read point to the SKREEM however a couple of them have mentioned their problem was resolved by the dealer replacing the "door lock module part number 5099541AA".

It looks a lot cheaper to replace that than to replace the SKREEM.

Are there any references I can use to figure out where it is and how to replace the door lock module? Looking online it appears to run a bit more than $100 so that's a lot cheaper than replacing the SKREEM.

Any other thoughts besides "take it to the dealer and have him replace the SKREEM"?

And is anyone here in the Long Island NY area that has a good Chrystler dealer that has expertise in Crossfires?

Thanks
Get the fault codes read or else you are going to chase the problem all over town and the bills will pile up.
