Default Re: Sticky Ignition Key Fix for all Crossfires 2004 thru 2006

Re-soldering the 3 connections on the RCM is about a 20 minute job.
HINT: Disconnect the negative battery cable, then pull the RCM from the box with the wires still attached.
They are much easier to disconnect that way, don't worry about which connector goes where, they are all different.
Most of your time will be spent getting that darn plastic cover off the RCM.
I personally believe in removing all the old solder from the 3 points with a sucker or solder wick before re-soldering.
Make sure you use a big enough soldering iron ( 100-150 watt ) and good electronics grade rosin core solder.

Ignore the above, I was thinking RCM, not Sticky Key.
