Oh yes about the scammers. Waiting for paperwork to sign for shipping. Pray you can find your part needs there. We all have to work together to keep in sharing info and resources to keep our "babie/s" in tip top running form.

Please keep us posted. I'll do the same. Thx

 

Sad to say the few modules that they had at County Auto Salvage when tested before shipping failed. Still looking!

 

Thank you. It doesn't surprise me. They actually had the correct 07-08 module part by number, but it failed??

 

Yes, apparently they had it tested at a vehicle repair facility or dealership. As has been said what did we do before seatbelts and before airbags!

 

As I recall we put in a Hurst shifter and gunned it.

 

Oh yeah, those were the days! Too bad for the generations that have followed. I can appreciate technology but......sometimes new and improved just can't compare to the REAL MUSCLE CARS & those who created them. Then let's hear it for all the backyard mechanics that honed their muscle cars from the ground up with sweat and old fashioned ingenuity.

 

Just FYI I started wearing seat belts in 1964, wanted to stay behind the wheel in a hard turn.

 

Good Afternoon, not exactly on this subject but about ORC module, trying to get replacement ORC module may have found on in salvage yard but they
want to #'s off the current unit to make sure it's the right part. Where do I find the ORC module in an 08 Crossfire Cpe? I did the google thing
and there are several locations. trying to narrow it down. As always thank you!

 

Here are a couple picture from my 2005 Limited. That is the ORC behind the center consol:



here is one a little closer:



Have fun!

 

My defective module is the passenger seat, not the driver's seat.

 

Thanks Zip439. Don't know what I would do without all the great info I have gotten on this sight. My 200,000+ 07 Crossfire was virtually no trouble at all now with the 08 this one is becoming a " prima donna " of all the quirks but wouldn't trade it well.....maybe for an SRT!

 

The same situation came to me. As i live in Russia, there`s completly no way to get new ORC or any other variants. SO! i have an idea - byu orc,immo and engine computer from 03-06 m/y crossfire and repin connector for it. I think it will solve this problem comletely!

 

NO, that will NOT work! The "engine computer" PCM is linked to a specific car by it's coding in the ignition/start authorization sequence. PCM is not inter-changeable.
If getting a correct ORC is impossible for you, the easiest solution is to drive without the airbags operating and simple pull fuse #3 in the underhood fuse box will keep the warning light off.

 

Pcm linked to immo module/at module. If I get all this modules from other car - why they won't work together?

 

IF you bought ORC, PTCM/ECU and SKREEM, it MIGHT work but I cannot say for sure.


My ORC failed, I got a replacement from used car, it would not program. I pulled the fuse so the light would go out and drive without it. We did not have air bags up until about 1990, and we all lived anyway.
I have had two accidents where the airbag caused my ONLY injury, I am not convinced the air bag is such a good idea.

 

If you try this it may work, but I would be certain the items you get are from the same model in respect to engine (Limited or Base vice SRT6) and the same transmission ( auto or manual) as the car you are repairing. I would also get the keys, the ignition switch and the drivers door lock so that you have the complete system from the donor car. I'm not sure that your keys would synchronize with a completely different PCM and SKREEM, what you are calling the immo module.
Good Luck!

 

Also remember that the ORC is different for a reason as the airbags and the knee bolster is different in the newer vice older model years. Changing the ORC from one year to another in itself may not properly activate the air bags.

 

I'll try later to collect the soul of older Crossfire in mine, for now - I totally removed orc from car. Main thing for me now - that belt tensioners are working and that's good

 

Just pull fuse F3 under the hood. It's purpose is to illuminate the SRS dash light.
