No Crank, No Lights
No Crank, No Lights
Hello All,
I became a member of this site a few years back after I purchased a 2006 Aero Blue Limited. Fixed many items on the car from existing threads and sticky’s
My last teenager is now driving the car and we had an issue today that we have not encountered before. He moved the car so his mom could get out and then he went to leave 30 minutes later and the car was dead. No Lights, no power, no crank. Checked the battery with the meter and it is good. Pulled the RCM out and looked over the solder joints (Repaired this two years ago) and they all still look good.
At this point I’m thinking the SCREEM may be toast. Car was running fine till this incident.
Any thoughts on next items to check would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

I would check the fuses in the engine fuse block it is near the fill spout for the windshield washer fluid. If all the fuses are good should be three fuses total (2) 50A and a 200A . I would then check the ground cable under the drivers side between the transmission and the drivers side fender. If it is corroded I recommend doing the additional chassis to engine ground that many other members here have done.

Above is the link to the additional ground cable to the engine.
Please follow up with us. Or if you have more detail let us know.

Update,
I was researching the forums for ideas on the no crank issue and my wife interrupted me as the car alarm was going off in the driveway. Key FOB worked to disarm it. Had power again. Dash lights and all power items worked. Turned the key and all went dead again. I suspect the RCM is the issue.
Any thoughts on getting another one? I’m pressed for time to get this one checked as my son starts school next week.

Hello Doc78,
I did check the fuses and they were good. Also replace the main battery ground you mentioned about 10 months ago as that had caused some issues last year.
I did disconnect the battery before I removed and inspect the RCM for bad solder joints or burned components. None found. Everything was still dead and then about an hour later the alarm started going off as described.
RCM the mostly cause?

Battery cables replaced already. Cleaned battery terminal and connection. Same issue.
When power came back last night as soon as you try to start the car you get a clunk of the starter trying to engage and everything goes off.
Taking the battery to be checked.

Re: No Crank, No Lights
Oncoming car crossed the center line and my son swerved to avoid him and got the right wheels off the road and the ditch sucked him in. He is very lucky and only has a couple scratches and bumps. One mailbox post came up through the passengers floor and seat. Glad no one was with him. One note is that the driver air bag didn’t deploy.
