Wrong. The SKREEM can be bad, the door locks may still work. The SKREEM has two 'halves', the "door locking" half and the "start or no start" half.
A bad SKREEM will cause the engine to crank over and "kinda start", then die. It will do this twice. Third try, you get nothing.
Also took the battery to Oreillys to get it tested, they said it was fine but needed charging.
Why would it need charging? If you drive the car, the battery is charged by the alternator. If you let the car sit for WEEKS, it will run down, mine sits three weeks at a time, starts fine.
So i left it there to charge, picked it up and reinstalled it in the car with no luck. Any other ideas?
My idea/question is the same as George's above. If your answer is 'yes', we know it's 99% likely the RCM.
If your answer is 'no' we have more diagnostics to do.
