I apologize about the wording. After I go back and read it, I can see where it is confusing. The starter never engaged, the 3 start and fail that I was referring to was from what I had read on the forum about SKREEM failures.

The shop said that they got it to start by "bending the RCM." They also said that there isn't anything visually wrong with it or any of the solders on the back of the board. I had a buddy who designs electronic boards for the military look at it prior and he was the one that tested it originally from the points on the back to the pins. As far as he could tell they all worked properly and he even touched up the problem solder points for me.

They are ordering a new RCM for me, they think the problem is on the front of the board underneath the relays. They aren't killing me on the price, and won't charge me for it if it does not work. so what the heck, why not give it a whirl.

I appreciate all of your help so far. I'll keep you updated on what they found out and if it works.
