Default A newb question from a veteran...

I started to spend three hours searching old posts, but I figured I'd let someone stretch their "help a Crossfire brother" muscle instead

My boss's son has a 2005 Limited Coupe. Bought it in 2011, has had a few issues here and there but nothing major (most expensive repair was a water pump failure).

He texts me this afternoon with the following message:

Cruise quit working, spoiler won't come down. ABS/ESP warning lights are illuminated. Battery was just tested and is OK. Car runs fine.

Any ideas? Sounds like the BCM took a dump, but maybe it's something simpler?

Thanks all,

My first thought is to be sure all fuses are tested good.

Is the negative battery cable to chassis ground OK ?
( and STILL could be the battery, regardless of the 'test' )

Check for codes but I'd guess it is a speed sensor in a wheel.

He said he was going to check all fuses... isn't #19 the one that controls the wing?

Sound advice... I'll ask him when the battery was replaced. Trying to figure out how the wing correlates to the lack of cruise...

A bad speed wheel sensor caused similar problems in my na roadster.

The problem has showed up here before and I just had the same problem with a sensor in my rear driver side on my 300. The code said it was the front driver sensor, a new sensor there solved nothing and the garage I then took it to said it was the rear sensor and it was.
This problem with the code indicating the wrong sensor position has showed up on this Crossfire forum a while back as well.

My scanner did not show the error code, but the self diagnostics on my 300 found the code, U1417 which is ' Left front wheel sensor fault'. This of course turned out to be the rear sensor.
