FYI, I have an account with Mercedes and spoke to there parts department about getting a module from them. They have 600 in available, but will not sell them except for a Mercedes. The list price is $270.00 for the module. The local Chrysler Dealer told me they are working on a supplier,hopefully by Oct. 15th but do not expect them to be available before December. Chrysler list is $577.00.
I would also like to have a spare one just in case.

 

I was told the same thing for keys. They are supposed to be changing suppliers. Who knows what that will do for prices?

 

So this is pretty scary. I had what's sounds like the skreem module issue where the the car just died, lights worked etc... all dash warning lights illuminated but just no cranking of the engine. My mechanic just disconnected the battery let is sit a while and reconnected the battery. The car and remote worked again. But if the module is bad this will probably keep crapping out.

 

If your SKREEM module dies your car WILL NOT ever start again and run for more than a few seconds until it is replaced

 

Are you saying since my mechanic was able to get is running by disconnecting the battery and then connecting it that it's probably another issue? And is so what can it be? Could it be a relay? Just strange reading the threads the symptoms I had were just like those that had skreem issues

 

If the Engine Control Relay output from the RCM fails, the car will quit running and refuse to engage the starter.

Also, if you sit there for 30 seconds wiht the key "ON", the engine fan will warp up to warp speed - due to no tickle pulses from the ECM (since it is not powered up in such cases).

Sounds like a bad RCM to me. Yank it and ship it to DJ or order a new one.

But again, this is based on what few words you typed, it is not a firm diagnosis.

 

Where is the relay located I have no idea. I’d loved to talk via phone to get a better understanding

Thanks for the info, I unfortunately I am not to handy with this kind of stuff. Are repairs still being made? Is there a part number to buy new? Is it plug and play? Ugh... sorry for all the questions

 

DJ is still performing the service. THe RCM is generic, you can get them from PartsGeek, FCP EUro, etc. Do not waste time with part numbers, just google "Chrysler Crossfire 2005 Relay control module", or send yours to DJ.

 

I tried to send an email to but email address was invalid. If I were to buy a new one are they plug and play? Any instructions for installation. Hope I’m not being a pain in the ....

 

Can you put me in touch with DJ?

 

His email is tighed1@hotmail.com

 

Ditto; contact DJ, aka: tighed1. Note; RCM (contains relays, circuit board & fuses) located near battery under it's cover & is a common Crossfire weakness & a different "animal" than the "Skreem": not talking about that here. The one I bought (called computer control module), from PartsGeek, was oem & remove/reinstall is pretty much plug & play, lots of prior posts here w/photos.

 

If they are available thru mercedes, then check With ROB at Needswings to see if he can snag a few, Woody

 

RCM will arrive today I am good to go. Thanks

 

Thanks to everyone who replied. I replaced the RCM today took it for a ride and things were ok. Fingers crossed I am good to go!

 

Installed my refurbed RCM a couple weeks ago, all was well. Now my check engine light came on yesterday. Any connection to the RCM. I don't have a code reader as of now. Any suggestions

 

Yes, get the code read. There are HUNDREDS of codes it could be, guessing is a waste of your time and can get expensive.

 

I should have a reader in a day or 2
