Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Help!
Mine left me stranded for a few hours, I went out after a cup of coffee it cranked and died, the lights worked fine no warning lights came on, I noticed my fob would not open the door locks or do anything so I thought it was bad, got a ride home got my spare key came back tried to jump it and like I said turned the key and NOTHING, both fobs were dead, when I turned the key all the electrical works fine, turn the key to start and NOTHING, not starter clicking noise like low battery.
I tried to jump it and nothing, so I disconnected the negative post waited 45 seconds reconnected the battery post and she started.
I drove around no lights on dash so no codes, took the top up and down turned on air nothing like a week battery would act like, but not sure about these cars.
The mystery was the FOB was dead, could the alarm system lock the car down, if so what would do this?
Sad, I have been sick for a few weeks, weathers been bad now its 82 degrees and she is sitting in the garage!
I am gun shy, I know someone has had this issue and if you can steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it, also I did the sticky key fix the first week I owned the car so I ruled that out.
HELP!
PLEASE HELP ME

If when you say nothing you mean the engine is not turned over by the starter motor then I would say it is probably the RCM problem. See the relay control mystery no start thread.
Or the video on the problem in another car.

Do not blame the fob, it is only a remote for the locks. It also holds a chip that will allow the car to start when it is close to the halo ring around the ignition key hole. That chip has not been a problem in any query on this forum in my time.

I have to figure out how to reply, re-soldered board, tested battery all good, when I tried to start no starter activity all electrical in dash worked no codes and both fobs were dead, I took the negative post off reconnected and she started!
Still puzzled unless the solder connection was so small I could not see it, what about the security system?

Had the magna flow I bought from a forum member installed today. I love it!!!!! It also seems to have a bit more power. It spins the tires easier. Here are some pics from the install.

Cleaned her up and put a coat of water repellant on my convertible top, thanks Pizzaguy the product you recommended went on well I used a sponge to spread it!
Installed the remote alarm and I did something wrong' car would lock on its own two to three minutes after I unlocked her, but the chirp worked when I locked and unlocked and I checked wiring three times neg on 86 and the radio shack alarm recommended I took it out and she works fine now!
Detailed her and I'm ready to order some brakes!
Any recommendations that on pads? Something I can buy from one of the parts houses?

You learn something everyday on this forum.

Rechecked wiring and tried for a few hours different times and she locked!

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
I have had occasions when I found the car locked, I had not locked it and the keys were hung up on the wall. I found it when I went to get something out of the car. I always dismissed it as a strange event and forgot about it.
The cars name is Christine, but she is not red.
Cue the weird music.

You say you attached to 86, what is the other wire attached to?

500 Mile weekend road trip to Iowa and back for a friends 50th Birthday.
He had never ridden in or seen my Crossfire other than in all my pics.
Gave him a 130mph ride on a back road in western Iowa.
Yes ....he lived to tell about it and will be 51 next year....lol
