Hello all, I wish I had better circumstances to post, but my daughters 05' crossfire in dire need of some good advice.
Long story short, her both key fobs would not work, she tried the door key lock only to find it would not open.
To be honest we never tried the lock cyl. when she got the car, only used the fob.
She had to call a locksmith to break into her car, which he did and it set off the alarm.
Since she could not re set the alarm by the fob or the key the immobilizer would not let it start.
I tried to hard boot the ecu by disconnecting the battery but to no avail.
I dont know if these is a set number of times you can attempt to start it before the ecu shuts down, but now it refuses to start at all.
Before it would run for a second before the immobilizer shut it down, now it does nothing.
We had it towed to a dealer who gave her an estimate of $6,000 !!
Sounds like he is using the shotgun repair approach, fire as wide as possible to see if he can hit the problem.
He wants to order the following SKREEM module...2 key fobs...PCM...relay module...door lock
I am having the car towed home today, i will have time to mess with it...
Any ideas ??
