Yes sir, Mrmiata, your timing was great. I now have my Crossfire in my garage. I feel kinda foolish, I knew there was a trick but didn't know it would be that simple and convenient.

But back to my original problem. A couple of weeks ago while traveling down the interstate, my speedo went to zero, most of the lights on my dash lit up. I pulled into the next exit. The trans wouldn't shift even manually. Stayed in high gear. Pulled into gas station and let cool down about 20 minutes. It started up and didn't do it again on the way back home. Yesterday I tried to start it, the dash lights up, radio works, etc., but won't crank. The spoiler went up and won't go back down. Battery is just over 4 years so I replaced it just because it was time anyway. Didn't help. I've read about the speed sensor from the trans causing these problems, but will it keep it from cranking?
