Re: Crank, start, die. Crank, start, die. No Crank. The SKREEM!
I have a 2007 Chrysler Crossfire convertible with about 65,000 miles on it and this year there were two times I apparently had an issue with the skreem unit. Both times, which were about 5 months apart, the car cranked, seemed to begin to start, and then died 3 times in a row, and then wouldn't turn over at all. The alarm went off when I used the key in the door.
Both times, the issue was fixed by completely disconnecting the battery for one minute (not just the negative terminal). When I reconnected the battery again, the car worked normally. I didn't have the problem again until 5 months later, and I haven't had it since (about 3 months ago). Am I seeing the beginning of the end of my skreem unit, or have others had this issue occasionally without having it escalate into a total skreem unit failure?
