Default Re: 15 weeks problem shooting and no repair
Thats kind of where I was going. If you know which wire sparked, thats probably where the problem lies. The SKREEM and security measures are in play. Perhaps when You shorted the radio You set off the security system.

So the car never started again after the Wire sparked on the new head unit. So where does that wire go, what was it's function?

You said they replaced the Skreem already. They also recoded the keys properly. Now I do Not know this is true but my perception of replacing the SKREEM is that it is a tricky proposition that must be done a certain way. If you shorted, or triggered the SKREEM when you sparked the wire on the Head unit, perhaps the SKREEM is just not working on purpose. After all that is It's job. The same holds true for the new SKREEM. If it was screwed in place and hooked up but not activated ???

Anyways perhaps one of the Gurus can speak to this theory.
