I can't speak for Gary, but I have tried that several times ... not really to reset the SKREEM, but the battery was disconnected and reconnected when I was having it tested and when I changed it. But, I am not having the "3 tries and done" situation like what is common with the SKREEM. My car is not engaging the starter at all (most of the time). Sometimes it will start like it has no problems (it has done this 2 or 3 times in the past 3 months) and now I am getting about a 1/2 second of starter engagement but it doesn't start. If I try to start it a 2nd time (without changing anything) I get no starter engagement and disconnecting the battery does not reset it. About the only thing that allows another "kick of the starter" is me wiggling the wires - sometimes having to unplug and reconnect - at the C5 connector at the PCM.
