Now, I just have to narrow down where the draw is coming from. I just received an new RCM today and will be installing that tomorrow. Thanks for the help, sorry about my stupidity........ While I am here, any ideas on how to fix a drooping headliner? Went to start it up today and the headliner was all in my hair.
There are threads on the forum on how to replace the headliner yourself or you can take it to a shop. There is also a Youtube step by step.
Most questions and answers can be found on the forum. Had battery drain on both of my Crossfires and both times it was the siren that is located under the windshield cowl. Use a a gear puller to remove the windshield wipers (mark it with a NON PERMANENT marker so you know where to align them back to). Then just undo the screws of the cowl, and remove the two clips, fold the cowl up. The siren sits in the middle of the and is held in by only one screw. There is a new version of that siren I purchased that actually beeps when you lock/unlock that car. Love that as I was never sure if the car unlocked due no sound and can't see the lights flash by daylight. Quick job to replace. While you are there, make sure the 4 (I think) drain holes under the cowl are free of debris. Pour some peroxide down there and flush it with water till it runs out of the drains below your car. Those drains, if blocked will let water run down your A/C compressor causing it to get damaged and the flood the passenger side floorboard and what is underneath there. NOT fun.
If you got the cowl off, might as well do that maintenance.
If you don't care about the sire, just disconnect it and take it out. That stops the battery drain, too. I like to have my alarm but to each its own. Let us know how it goes.
