Default Re: How to Repair Relay Control Module (RCM) - (Mystery no Start)

I dont know what happen or what you posted in that other thread as I never went back into it as I was certain it would turn into a flame war like your trying to start with this one. Im just relaying what work for me in case another lost soul wonders to this forum with this problem, because if they own a crossfire THEY WILL run into a problem. This thread has alot of good information, the best one for me was to replace the whole unit, I prolly shouldnt have said it will make your car run better as it runs the same, just dont have that stupid check engine light on anymore.


Its a $200 dollar part, if I had known that from the start, I would have just bought a new one from the start, that information wasnt really in this thread so I added it with a link to where I bought mine and anybody that needed a new one could do the same. These things
sell for $140 used on ebay, which is a rip off. Just get a new one if your thinking about buying a replacement. I have 2 RCM's sitting on my shelf with burnt out air pump relays. One was the originally from the car and the other was a used one I bought of ebay. I only posted so I can save somebody from buying a used one as it is not worth it.

Onehundered80, I dont want any issues with you and I will refrain from posting since "newbies" arent really allowed to speak or voice their opinion. I'll just read stuff in the background like ive been doing. People like you make it where new people dont want to post and thus they dont. The Crossfire has been out of production for what 6 years now? Your going to start getting newer people in here as the old heads are selling them and moving on to newer cars. I feel bad for any that come across you, as they will be left thinking Crossfire community is a bad community overall, which is how I feel now.
I'm not bullying you at all, just stating that the RCM can be fixed quite cheaply, it can be fixed for <$10 if you are handy with a soldering iron and have the time. A new one will fix the part and anyone who spends $140 for a used one is silly to waste their money. Mine cost $45 and is perfect. Mercedes will not touch the car as it is not a Mercedes, Chrysler will touch the car but in most cases know little about the cars idiosyncrasies.
