Have determined no water leaking in the rear so I'm ruling that out as a potential cause of my initial issue. Still thinking this is isolated to the SKREEM so continuing to troubleshoot until I'm positive but at least I'm not grounded with no car until that happens and we are able to get it resolved.
Will continue to update just in case my experience assists anyone else. I think I'm out here in no man's land by leaving out the fuse but we'll see what happens and maybe it helps someone with what seems to me (now) is a pretty common occurrence (SKREEM failure) and looks to put folks without their CF until dealerships/garages can get the replacement module and work on the vehicle (weeks from what I've been reading). Maybe my renegade actions will help someone at least be able to make the decision of whether leaving out the fuse is the right one for them in the meantime until they can get theirs fixed.
stay tuned...
If I had this problem the first thing I would do is uncover the siren which is situated under the cowl in front of the windshield and disconnect it. Unplugging it does nothing except stop it working.
Then I would have a car that is basically back to normal. Disconnecting the battery when doing this may help reset the cars electrical system
When removing the cowl there is no need to disconnect any of the wires attached to the windshield washer nozzles. Then replace the cowl and the fuse #9.
If the batteries are out of the fob for too long or the batteries have failed while in the fob the fob will need to be re synced to the SKREEM, as removing fuse #9 does not affect the fob.
The method to reset the fob is in this list of the re settable Crossfire features. CLICK
