At the moment, the key just won’t turn. I kept trying but after 4 days I got one of the two keys to work - I just have remember not to remove the key.
i think it’s just the tumblr but it’s just a guess?
There were only 69 - 2005 Crossfire Roadsters produced for the Canadian market. So, parts are really limited in Canada. The tumblr is back ordered until Jan 2020. While it might be true here, I can’t imagine there are zero parts anywhere. I have taken it upon myself to do some searching on my own.
The number of mechanics that have actually worked on a Crossfire are probably less than the availability of the parts. (My passenger side flasher burned out and Chrysler told me I have to purchase an entire headlight unit in order to change the bulb - the bulb itself can’t be changed) So, not exactly the kind of place I want servicing my car. I have been blessed since I bought the car in 2005, this is my first major repair issue.
I am not a mechanic so the reality is if the tumblr is removed and I don’t have a backup plan, I am screwed. I don’t want to wait until January 2020 and there is no guarantee they will even have them then.
I believe my SKREEM is still OK but until we take things apart, I can’t say for sure.
My greatest fear is removing the tumblr and not finding someone that can correctly reprogram the computer. I can live with the key to the door and the key to the ignition being different but that’s only a guess as well.

I am open to any help, input or suggestions I can get from this forum. I appreciate your response!
