Default Engine won't start

Hi,

My 2005 Crossfire won't start. Battery is ok, I jump the starter motor and it works.
I turn the key on it went all the way to the starting position but the engine won't crank.

Please HELP

go up to the search feature and punch in: Mystery no start. Read thru that thread, as that is more than likely your problem...good luck...



RCM: Relay Control Modul

Once you have read thru the thread, there is a how-to on how to fix it yourself, by soldering the connections shown to be bad solder joints. Any ole' chopper pilot can do it...lol

Thanks for the info. I reviewed the thread on RCM and went to the car, removed the RCM and checked the soildering points and everything was ok. I put it back together and Alas engine started ok. I wondering that it will happen again. A friend of mine also told me that there is a wire on the ignition switch kind of an antenna that will also cause this situation.

I would go ahead and re-solder the connections on the RCM anyway. Since removing and re-installing it may have fixed the problem there may be a weak connection that you could not actually see with the naked eye. It wouldn't hurt anything anyway.

I failed to mention Mr. Helio Chopper type pilot. You can't see the break with the naked eye, but if you read thru the thread, it tells you that. You moved it enough to cause it to start, but you didn't fix it. Once warm, it will do it again...now ask yourself this, if this was a part that was wrong in your chopper, would you fly it....hover on that thought awhile...lol
