Default Re: Crossfire cut out - engine won't start! Help please!

Was driving and the engine just randomly cut out - all lights were showing. Afterwards trying for 10mins the first time it turned on.

Then it happened again in the middle of a roundabout!

I have read about the RCM... but before I dive into that area, the engine wont even crank now... there is just no noise. I don't know if the battery is flat, due to trying to start it up so many times, but I after the mechanic towed it away he said it was the starter motor.

Now, I know where the RCM is to look at the soldering joins for that part, but I don't know where to find or how to access the start motor. My private part-time mechanic has it at the moment, but was wondering if someone could help and guide me through how to gain access to the start motor.

Your quick guide will really be appreciated on how to access it, pictures would be a massive help... but even how to get to it or how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks
Sanjay
Check the battery for power, check the RCM for bad solder joints and forget about the starter motor. It never caused the car to stall in the first place as it was probably the RCM.
If the car does not turn over it is probably the RCM, if it turns over and does not start it is probably the CPS.
