You need solder for electronics, using a resin flux NOT an acid flux.

 

Hiflyer,
Any rosin core electrical solder will work. I use fairly fine gauge 60/40, and get your iron to 750+ deg if you have temperature indication. Perfect scenario is pulling the affected part and cleaning the leads before resoldering. But many folks just apply lots of heat and fresh solder at each joint (including me).
Hope this helps.
Soldering is becomming a lost art.

Tighed1 i soldered it, if you go to my pictures u can see my soldering on the RCM. I still have the same problem!

 

PM sent...

 

I deleted old pics and put new ones where I had it soldered last night. Hey I looked at ur gallery of pictures, u have some great looking crossfires!!!

 

Time for a "tighed1" RCM swap!

EVERYTHING you are describing sounds like bad connections on the RCM.

 

You can say that again.

 

Just looked at your pictures, it would appear that you used enough heat (and too little heat, not too little solder - is usually where people fail at soldering).

But remember that Tightd1 will swap your RCM for a repaired one for a small, small charge. It CAN be the contacts on the engine control relay (I'd have to check, I think that is the middle relay) but it is usually the solder land(s).

 

Alright I'll send this to Tighed1 sounds like he knows about these. It sure b nice to drive my car since I just bought it recently and it just set in my garage after I drove it home! Thanks PizzaGuy

Now I have a new starter and RCM and still have no clue!

 

Needing help on 04 xfire.
Stalls on Highway at speeds at 70mph
Have had crank sensor replaced,crank sensor wire harness replaced and still same problem and several $$$ later.anyone have any suggestions!!!

 

You might want to start your own thread with some more information about your car and what you've done so far. In the new thread, you might add:
Mileage of car
How long have you owned it
How long has it been doing this
Where did you get the CPS that was installed - what is the brand of it
How old is your battery
Do you have a CEL (check engine light)
Anything else that you can think of that will help in diagnosis

Also, the Google search feature in this forum is excellent - have you tried some key words in it to see if your problem has been addressed before?

Have you got any codes set?

 

I have a tech working on my car and I'm waiting to hear from him, when I spoke to Mike fri or sat one he said he had just got the factory scan tool in so I sent a text a few mins ago and ask was he able to scan all systems on my crossfire!

 

would love to hear their findings. Im having the sam issues - although I havent recieved any codes.

 

Ok, my technician done a full scan and it didn't give us any fault codes, and he had the correct tools between what he owned and the factory tool that he got from chrysler. So he did order a new key fob because mine has got wet or something and doesn't work right. But the search continues, I had already replaced the RCM with a new one,from chrysler and put a new starter on, my xfire has a food battery. Anyways now he's going to be looking at the siren or siren module, the wire that's in or around the halo ring and looking at security system, I let you know when I find out more , he just called and updated me earlier

My tech scanned all systems and no fault codes, he also took a ignition and key out of another crossfire but couldn't get it to recognize or it didn't start the car or unlock the doors. He tried to program or whatever but hasn't worked. He ordered a new key fob because he said mine had corrosion wen he took it apart so he cleaned and he has a lab where they do a lot of solder work so he soldered it to but it doesn't work so anyway he's looking at the siren or siren module, the wire to do with the halo ring around the key switch and he's gonna continue. His forte is electronics, lab for that and they have a commercial garage for mechanics so he is continuously studying and searching for the issues. He actually has two crossfires at his place, mine and another gentleman so that runs but has other problems thAn mine.
