Default driving home and all my dash warning lights

I was driving home and all my light lite up. My car was running but I hand no speedo, all my warning lights were on. it ran like normal but the rear wing did not go down when I stopped.
after I turned the car off it would not turn back on.The radio worked but no crank. I disconnected the battery hoping maybe something would reset. no such luck..
please i need help.

After reading other people post with similar issues I think I`ll start with the RCM. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

That RCM for sure needs re-soldering on those 3 lower left connections,
as well as several others I see.

soldered all the spots that looked bad. reinstalled in the car I had an issue with wing not staying down, but that eventually cleared. I drove about a half mile and the same issue came back.
I have a question about the relays, should they all be closed when attempting to start, or will some be in open position ?

the engine and fuel pump relays should be closed.

That is an obsolete photo of the RCM another one exists on here.
If I remember I'll add it here.

the relays look like a tough job to replace. Should I just purchase another one?
I think that will resolve the issue. Any thoughts?

If you cannot solder well or your skills have deteriorated, send it to member tighed1 ( https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...o-start-2.html post 1047) for a rebuild.
