Yeah - Some of us are interested in learning what was the permanent solution. Was it as simple as a dislodged chip in the key fob?

I must remember this if he asks another question.

On the other hand it could just be BS. Maybe they should explain fully?

Re: SKREEM replaced RCM rebuilt still won't start
PIZZAGUY.....This thread is just what I'm dealing with. I"m hoping to come up with a solution, so far nothing. My wire from the Halo was broken and I separated both the Braided and the wire inside and soldered them both separate. The Halo only fits on the switch correctly, one way. I sure wish I could learn what that guy did to fix his. Just got my RCM back from D.J.Tighe yesterday and it wasn't my problem.

We only need the ECM, SKREEM and a matching key to test run the SKREEM in another car. It does not matter the VIN they are programmed for if you are only testing functionality.

I had the typical briefly start then die three times in a row then not start at all until I disconnected the battery and reconnected. That was the SKREEM module under the dash going bad and needing a new one programmed to my CPU and keys. I sent everything I needed to to SOS Diagnostics in Oregon. They programmed a new module to my CPU and keys for $400. Upon receiving everything back from them, the car wouldn't start at all which is what my thread was about. I spent quite some time finding a place that was willing to not only work on a Crossfire but also had experience with them. I finally found a dealership that still had a technician on staff who had gone through factory training when they were new. He reprogrammed my CPU and that fixed the problem. The dealership charged me one hour of labor for this. $400 to SOS, $200 to the dealership, $600 total the get everything fixed. This was with me taking the entire dash apart in order to get to the SKREEM module then putting it all back together once everything was working again.

Also, did the whole car go to the dealer or just the ‘CPU’ ?

Glad they are still making them though because they do die.
Re: SKREEM replaced RCM rebuilt still won't start
I need to know if I could send off my SKEEM, Halo, ECM to someone to check them out?
