GREAT VIDEO! I HAVE A '98 SLK230 (NO HISTORY OTHER THAN IT JUST STOPPED RUNNING) THAT IS NOT ONLY NO CRANK-NO START, I HAVE NOTHING ON MY DASH EXCEPT THE KEY BUZZER....NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO NOTHING. WOULD THIS BE ANOTHER REASON FOR THE FAULTY RCM??? I HAVE ALSO BEEN MADE AWARE OF A "CRASH SEPARATOR" ISSUE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? MINE WAS KIND OF WIRED DUBIOUSLY SO I GOT ANOTHER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS. THANKS
so i just got that problem with my 2002 slk 32 amg. and because of your video i knew exactly were to look. and sure enough i used a magnifying glass and i could see that the soldier wasn't touching the metal stems.. so after re-soldering those 3 spots the car is now starting again.. thanks man...no way would i have figured it out on my own...🙏
I had a issue with my negative battery cable. Stock cable clamp was only being held on by the rubber. Cut the end off. Installed a new clamp. Was giving me same issue as RCM. Had power (lights on). turned key then no power. Had to disconnect the battery to get the power to come back on.. I thought I had a broken battery post because if I put pressure on the cable it would start. Hope this helps someone else
Hi, i have missfire at 3rd cly in my 97’slk230. I have changed plugs, coils, cables,cps and maf sensor . nothing changed. Service tried all but they say its about ecu. Do you have any suggest about it? Or did you heard about same problem before?
Greetings from Bundaberg. Maaaate, you are brilliant. Exactly what was wrong with my Crossfire. I soldered it this morning. FIXED, Thankyou, Thankyou. 😂 P.S. my mates drivers side window don't work, any ideas.
Seems a great life saver video and solution. I have a 2013 SLK and suddenly starter won't turn unless you run a direct wire from the battery. Could this have the same fault?
Hello my crossfire sometimes does not work when I push the gas pedal, turn it off for one minute then works normally after 1 hour or less I have the same problem can you help me? Great video by the way
I removed the RCM on my Crossfire and found the faulty solder points as per your video. I resoldered them, put everything back in place, and it still does the same thing...no crank, no start. When I keep turning the key on and off it will eventually start, run for a few seconds, then die. What should I do now?
I am having the same issue. I checked/soldiered the terminals. No go. Cleaned the contacts on the relay. Worked well for most of the summer. Now back to intermittent issues. Thinking I need to replace the relay to start with fresh contacts. Good luck!
Hello Paul ; great video. I saw the video you did of this problem just over a year ago. Problem solved. Just for my information, just in case I have conversations with other crossfire owners who haven’t had this problem “Yet”; what years crossfires did this affect? All years ? Also, did this affect SRT6 models ? Thanks ....Your video saved me hundreds. It cost me $3.00 to fix my 2005 Crossfire convertible. One more question; I’ve had my crossfire for over 13 years and have just over 111,000 miles; when do you recommend a timing chain change and water pump change ? Thank You Buddy , Mike from California.
Hi Mike, this issue is on every model year, I have even done this on a few brand new RCM. Seems they were mass produced back in the day and are still selling these with the improperly soldered 3 sets of pins. As for the water pump. do an inspection for loose bearing, noise and leaks and change at the 1st sign of issue, The rimming chain is suggested to be changed at around 120K by most respected shops.
I have a question,I have a 2007 roadster crossfire I pulled it out one day for a ride with the top down hadn’t driven it for a while going down the road speedometer start going haywire car dyed battery was drained flat went and bought a new battery put it on and tried starting it and my new battery it drained it’ too have u heard of a crossfire with a problem similar too this any advice would be appreciated thanks
Hi and thank you for your videos. They’ve been quite helpful. I have all four crossfire I ordered the area told me for the secondary air pump and that works fine now I now been getting a code of P0600 on there Car starts and runs but I have all my lights on on the dash and I’m having problems with the admissions passing the car If I disconnect the plugs and reconnect them, it seems to reset everything in the car runs fine with no lights but after a while they come back. Have you seen anything like this? If you like to talk I can send my # Thank you in advance if you can help me with this
Easy way to unplug these wires is to use the little holes on top of the connecting plug. I use a paperclip insert one end into the hole and use pliers to pull it.
I really hope you see this. I’ve been having trouble with my xfire for the last few months goin on a year.. my abs esp hand brake light and and brake wear indicator are constantly on. My speedometer won’t work and my spoiler is stuck deployed I’ve been trying to figure it out myself but I need a high level of expertise to try and attack this one.. I have no problem doing the work myself as I keep all the cars in my household maintained
Hi. I'm having the same problem with my Crossfire. How did you fix and what was the problem. My dealer had a fix at the tune of $2 600. They said the problem was the steering wheel sensor and the relay.
Paul Flores glad you asked.. it’s crazy because I just got around to fixing it last month but my issue was 2 things. Faulty CAN bus wiring (2 wires, green & white 20 awg, it connects 4 modules in the manual and 6 in the auto) and a bad ABS module. The shop manual or scanner may refer to it as the CAB module but it’s the same thing and it houses both the ESP module and ABS Module, the ESP module is the cylindrical piece on the front of the silver brake disturber box and the ABS module is the flat black box on the back
You can fix it at home for $300 if both the CAN Bus and ABS module are your issue, but also note that could be other module within the system causing this issue.. I have a post on the forums about this issue and how I solved it. I’ll send the link
Would this cause the car to stall while driving also? I have a 2006 S500 and I have the no crank and no start issue as well as the car stalling while I'm driving. Changed the crankshaft position sensor and it still happens. No engine light or error codes.
Stalling while driving is a symptom of a bad CPS. I have seen many brand new cheap aftermarket CPS and fake BOSCH ones fail within days. Make sure you only buy BOSCH. While you are at it change your camshaft position sensor also with a BOSCH brand
Common Faults leading to START ERROR on with certain Mercedes Benz: Jump starting Battery power not sufficient The transponder in your key is faulty or missing Antena coil on ignition faulty ECU fault Fuel pump fault We also recommend testing for power on your WSP plug. Pin 3 is continuous +12V direct from the battery, Red/Yellow Wire Pin 7 is ignition +12V when your key is in position 1 and 2, Black /Yellow Wire If there is no power on either you will get START ERROR on the dash. Is from Asian website that uses Mercedes’ for there business blessed beings 💖✨
have any suggestions on a corroded battery cable? The CHRYSLER dealership said they don’t make the cables anymore & they’d have to jerry rig a new battery cable compartment😩😩😩live my car, hate the thought of loosing it due to the dealership wanting almost $1,000 to fix
$1000 to replace a battery cable?? "Jerry rig" ?? take your car and leave that dealership...actually RUN!! Do yourself another favour and contact Rob over at Needswings email him at NeedsWings.com or call him 1-586-531-1413 10am-5pm EST. He can order you a new cable for the Crossfire for less than $20 and you should join my Facebook crossfire group at Chrysler Crossfire Owners International facebook.com/groups/2211655775/?ref=bookmarks
Hello I'm looking for help, my 04 cross fire it crank but don't start, what will you think it the problem. Thank you very much, I hope you read my comment.
I'll be driving my '05 Crossfire (at any speed) with no problems, and then it will just suddenly die. When it does and I coast to a stop, then it won't crank and won't start. After a few minutes of waiting and turning the key on and off it will start but do the same thing again as I drive. Will the solder fix also apply to this condition?
Yes, no crank no start is the RCM, So the pin loose contact with the bad soldering job done at manufacturing level therefore loose the signal for the relay to keep the engine on, when you get a crank but no start then you look at the Crank position sensor (and only ever buy a BOSCH CPS)
I tried this fix but not cured my problem it locks and opens off the key fob but no fuel pump or starter motor been standing with no battery fitted for 6 mths
re-soldering will fix the No Crank and No Start, it will not affect your cooling system, you need to look to see if your fan is working. check the fan fuses 1st, check your fluid levels next, then the fan to see if it turn on when the car get to running temp.
Hi can you help me there a light that come on where the mileage shows and it flashes a little oil can saying hi do you know why this is happen never b4 ??
I had that happen to me; I found that that is the maintenance reminder. I changed my oil, and reset it for 7,000 miles since I use full synthetic oil. Go on TH-cam and type in Crossfire maintenance reset. That’s where I found it. It may have even been a Paul who had the video. Hope this helps.
danny dryden could possibly be your SKREEM module. Does the car start and then die after a few seconds or struggle to start and sputter out ? If it’s the first option its more than likely something to do with that system.. either the key’s chip or SKREEM itself may need to get replaced
I’m not too sure what’s the best method of contact but if you can help me or attempt to please message me back I’m not sure how to send private messages on TH-cam if it’s even possible if not you can send me a dm or Facebook ig or Twitter.. I’ll send my username if you would like to assist me finding out this issue.. I’m a film maker and I can document it all for anyone else who might encounter the same error so that way they can have a way to fix it

Common Faults leading to START ERROR on with certain Mercedes Benz:
Jump starting
Battery power not sufficient
The transponder in your key is faulty or missing
Antena coil on ignition faulty
ECU fault
Fuel pump fault
We also recommend testing for power on your WSP plug.
Pin 3 is continuous +12V direct from the battery, Red/Yellow Wire
Pin 7 is ignition +12V when your key is in position 1 and 2, Black /Yellow Wire
If there is no power on either you will get START ERROR on the dash.
Is from Asian website that uses Mercedes’ for there business blessed beings 💖✨
You said silver solder and I would like something a little more exact. I have 0% experience in soldering
lead-free rosin core solder
have any suggestions on a corroded battery cable? The CHRYSLER dealership said they don’t make the cables anymore & they’d have to jerry rig a new battery cable compartment😩😩😩live my car, hate the thought of loosing it due to the dealership wanting almost $1,000 to fix
$1000 to replace a battery cable?? "Jerry rig" ?? take your car and leave that dealership...actually RUN!! Do yourself another favour and contact Rob over at Needswings email him at NeedsWings.com or call him 1-586-531-1413 10am-5pm EST. He can order you a new cable for the Crossfire for less than $20 and you should join my Facebook crossfire group at Chrysler Crossfire Owners International facebook.com/groups/2211655775/?ref=bookmarks

I'll be driving my '05 Crossfire (at any speed) with no problems, and then it will just suddenly die. When it does and I coast to a stop, then it won't crank and won't start. After a few minutes of waiting and turning the key on and off it will start but do the same thing again as I drive. Will the solder fix also apply to this condition?
Yes, no crank no start is the RCM, So the pin loose contact with the bad soldering job done at manufacturing level therefore loose the signal for the relay to keep the engine on, when you get a crank but no start then you look at the Crank position sensor (and only ever buy a BOSCH CPS)
@@CrossfireRepairsByPaul Thanx!!! I plan on resoldering as per your video in the next few days. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Hello, does the 2002 c320 sedan has this? I can't find it. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!
Another fix to your credit.
Glad it helped!
Hope you have subscribe to the channel! 😀
Good video, but didn't solve my no start, no crank issue.
I have the same issue can you help me out
Tried it,change for new one, still does not turn??
I have a mercers benz 1999 s320 no start no crank
Ok this good
I tried this fix but not cured my problem it locks and opens off the key fob but no fuel pump or starter motor been standing with no battery fitted for 6 mths
BUT DOES THIS STOP IT FROM OVER HEATING THIS IS THE CODE I GOT. BUT MY CAR IS CRANKING JUST NOT STAYING COOL.
re-soldering will fix the No Crank and No Start, it will not affect your cooling system, you need to look to see if your fan is working. check the fan fuses 1st, check your fluid levels next, then the fan to see if it turn on when the car get to running temp.
Hi can you help me there a light that come on where the mileage shows and it flashes a little oil can saying hi do you know why this is happen never b4 ??
I had that happen to me; I found that that is the maintenance reminder. I changed my oil, and reset it for 7,000 miles since I use full synthetic oil. Go on TH-cam and type in Crossfire maintenance reset. That’s where I found it. It may have even been a Paul who had the video. Hope this helps.
I tried this and it wanted to start but would not keep running then it stopped all together what do I do now ?
danny dryden could possibly be your SKREEM module. Does the car start and then die after a few seconds or struggle to start and sputter out ?
If it’s the first option its more than likely something to do with that system.. either the key’s chip or SKREEM itself may need to get replaced
Is there another place I can look at.
please describe all symptoms your car has
@@CrossfireRepairsByPaul Put the key on ,turn all lights goes on but no crank,
Change the module still does not turn.
@@jpnadeau6580 this fix if if there is "no crank and no start" look at my Crank Position sensor video, that is when your car cranks but wont start
It doesn't crank at all (turn) and all lights turn on.
@@jpnadeau6580 if you unplug the car battery for about 15 seconds then plug it back then see if it cranks.
Mine cranks but no start, neither will it start with starter fluid.. wat noww
look at my "Car cranks but won't start" video
Having issues my car will not go over 50 mph stalls
Hi Joshua, change your Crank Position Sensor (CPS) to a BOSCH brand only! see my video on Crank Position Sensor
@@CrossfireRepairsByPaul hey question for you people say it's the ECU. Is this possible?
@@joshuajackson9116 it sure can, but I would start with a $25 part before moving on to the ECU,
Process of elimination by cost ;)
Thanks ok I'll try that first
I have a 05 230k no crank no start someone please help
Did you watch Pauls Video. Watch it. Very good chance it’s the problem. Very easy fix.
I’m not too sure what’s the best method of contact but if you can help me or attempt to please message me back I’m not sure how to send private messages on TH-cam if it’s even possible if not you can send me a dm or Facebook ig or Twitter.. I’ll send my username if you would like to assist me finding out this issue.. I’m a film maker and I can document it all for anyone else who might encounter the same error so that way they can have a way to fix it
🤜🏽🤛🏽💗
you didn't start the car so that we could prove that your theory worked
