No DRB3 or second key. It looked like there was a budget equivalent of DRB3 on Amazon, don’t know if it’s worth it.
thanks again for the ideas!

Hi Kara,
From what I've read about SKREEM issues, it can manifest itself in a number of ways depending on how it's failed - for example, if the transponder in your key (BTW, do you have a second key that you could try?) somehow got scrambled - the FOB would still work, but the car wouldn't start. Same if the antenna ring around the ignition failed, or a part in the SKREEM failed that is only used on the transponder side. The good news is that you know you're getting power to the SKREEM and its RF receiver works since it responds to the FOB. The SKREEM is talking to the BCM, and BCM is talking to the CLP to open and close the doors - means your CAN BUS is probably okay. Do you have access to a DRB III code reader? That might pinpoint it directly by reading the SKREEM DTCs if there are any.
