Re: Car starts twice, dies twice. Skreem module again?
My situation is similar but different.. my car started with no problems, but key FOB was coming apart so I bought a new one on ebay and switched over parts. FOB locks and unlocks I can see a little light flicker when i hit the buttons, but when tried to start car it ran and died 2 times then no turnover everything comes on like a valet key but car won't start. what did i mess up when I switched FOB's? 
Please direct me in the right direction.

Re: Car starts twice, dies twice. Skreem module again?
okay, so just happened upon the SKREEM threads and luckily upon the 'remove fuse #9 remedy" to keep me from having to tow it home (although not sure how I would have even gotten a tow out of the parking garage I was parked in at the time... anyway)... CF is home in my garage now without Fuse #9 in place.
Question is... if I am not concerned with my alarm system (had the siren turned off anyway), the key fob functioning (will just continue to unlock manually) or the interior lights (not that functional or bright anyway and always have my phone which I can light whatever I need to see if it's dark out)... what is the harm in simply leaving Fuse #9 out permanently so I don't have to deal with the replacement of the SKREEM module? Any downsides other than those I've mentioned???
Thanks for potentially developing a work around to having to inform my husband that we need to take my baby to a dealership and drop a sizable check to keep me happy.
Thanks for any insight.
