Car Randomly Goes Dead While Driving
Car Randomly Goes Dead While Driving
The past few times I have went to go crank my Crossfire it would not crank up at all. I've had issues with this in the past and usually what I would do to fix this is to jiggle around the wiring to the Relay Control Module. Most of the time the car would crank right up after doing this. It has usually did this with extreme weather changes (hot one day and cold the next). The last two times I did this and drove off as normal, but the car ended up going dead a couple times while driving. Each time it happened I was coming to a stop. I also noticed that all of the lights on the dash would come on and then go off after the engine stopped. It isn't the battery going dead because the interior features such as the radio still works each time it goes dead. Could this all be related to a faulty Relay Control Module?
Any advice is appreciated greatly

I think getting one repaired is a better option than buying a new one. A new one can have the same trouble down the road.

Don't get me wrong I still love the car, and if it was up to me I'd keep it forever. Finances just don't agree with keeping 2 cars at the age of 23 though. I'll give the soldering fix a shot and hope it works. Again, thank you for that link.

THe cost of these little repairs is not a big deal.
What will get you is paying insurance on the second car, and buying TIRES for a Crossfire. If you REALLY enjoy the car, you will go thru tires.
The next to the last set I bought for my Graphite lasted 11,700 miles. That was $850 spent twice in one year on tires alone.
THe SE is not a daily, I bought tires for it in 2016 and won't need tires for at least another 3 or 4 years.

If you would like me to refurbish your RCM...Send your RCM and $30 (cash, money order, check) to:DJ TIGHE3601 Pinnacle CtSierra Vista, AZ 85650 I'll inspect, redo bad solder joints, perform the Me So Horny mod (horn works w/o key) and replace the Air Pump relay (and the Fuel Pump relay if needed). I will then test your RCM in one of my cars. Then I mail back the RCM to you via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day). In most cases, I get the RCM back in the mail the day after I receive it so yer looking at about a week total. If you want the package insured please include an additional $5. FYI, In the few years I have been doing this 3 have been lost in the mail.If you ship to me via a method that requires a signature it will extend your waiting time as I will have to go into town to sign for the package.Leave all fuses and plastic cover on RCM.Let me know what symptoms the car had.Please email your address to me also.Or for $50 I will replace all relays (except horn - it never goes bad). You should NEVER have an RCM problem then.tighed1@hotmail.com
