When symptom occur.
1. dead car nothing has power key fob wont work either.
2. car stalling at stops in gear car is an automatic does not do this all the time.
Download the service manual from this forum, and follow battery feed to:

1 )The RCM
2) The tiepoints in the fuse box, driver's side, underhood.

I strongly suspect this is not actually in the box that contains the RCM (altho it could be). The 200 amp feed off the battery terminates both in the box that holds the RCM but also at the driver's side fuse box tiepoints. DO NOT make this harder than it is, the failure is right in front of you, it's just tricky to isolate.

In fact, you may very well be able to track this down without the manual, as moving wires around causes the failure. But if you study the wiring diagrams and take note of what goes out (headlights, radio, instrument panel lights) you can logically deduce where the failure is.
