First spoiler won't operate manually, then remote door locks quit, now engine won't crank. Any suggestions??

How old is your battery and what condition are the battery cables and connectors in?

 

Thanks Pizza Guy. This seems consistant with what I have read so far. I will probably tow it from the shop that says they cannot analize it for lack of tools, take it home and start replacing things. Bat, RCM, CPS etc.

If the engine won't turn over with the key in the "Start" position, See the RCM how-to thread first!

I would start with having the battery checked. These cars do not like weak batteries.

Well, where is the thread for the RCM repair that is about the starter not engaging?

 

Will it crank with jumper cables? If so, I think most of your troubles will go away with a new battery. I reported on here once that my wing was doing funny things and was told to replace my battery. I thought "No Way". Replacing the battery fixed all my problems. These cars really act weird when the battery gets weak.

 

i work at advance auto parts and we see it all, if your in a location where it is extremely cold and the car hasent been started in a few days or even over night the fluid, acid or distilled water can sometimes freeze.. check to see if it is still liquid... either that or it is just draineddddddd

 

I deleted that post, so forget about my answer.

 

Thanks Guys/Gals for the help. I performed the soder surgery on the RCM witn no luck. It probably needed it though. Next went to the drivers side fuse box and checked any fuse that could have any remote possibility of affecting the Start Sequence. I reversed each fuse when reinserting. When I came to the Wireless Remote Fuse (17 I think) the car responded. Read the codes......none. I am back to where I was with no manual spoiler and remote door locks. BUT THE CAR IS RUNNING NOW!!!!!!

From what I have heard and I checked again a fully charged battery will not freeze.
Also; From http://www.progressivedyn.com/battery_basics.html
If your battery is partially discharged, the electrolyte in a lead acid battery may freeze. At a 40% state of charge, electrolyte will freeze if the temperature drops to approximately -16 degrees F. When a battery is fully charged the electrolyte will not freeze until the temperature drops to approximately -92 degrees F.

 

oh no...sounds like an eletrical problem if it is now running with just pulling and replacing fuses. Hit the old Rudymeister up. I remember him dealing with the door lock issues. Skreen maybe, but he would be all over this. You didn't get the motor wet in anyway did you?

 

I am the 4th owner of this car so its possible that the engine could have seen some H20..
