DEAD or DYING alarm? Also, CLOGGED DRAINS? Do you have water near the passenger's feet?
Hello and welcome to another how-to video. I know, it's been a long time since I have posted any videos (and I have much more ready to be edited and posted) I have been on an amazing road to recovery after a quadruple bypass heart surgery. I am feeling better than ever!!! Should have done this 7 years ago, so if you have not done one in a while PLEASE, go get a heart stress test done if you are over the age of 35!! DO yourself and your family a favor and get it done. Now back to this video info!

Hi Paul....Martien here from the Netherlands. My Crossfire showed the next error twice in a row. When the engine is realy warm and I stop and turn of it will not give the key.... and it says ESP/ BAS light is on. The wing went up and down one time. It is an automatic 2007. After 3 hours I start the car...turn it of and it wil give the key. Stickey key issue is impossible because I fixed that 3 weeks ago. I took it out to prevent stickey key issue. I am a member of the Crossfire club in the Netherlands and some hints are RCM or neutral safety switch problems. What do you think????
Thankyou Paul! It wasnt rhe starter this time thank goodness. It was the crank sensor again... 😔
Great news indeed.
How do you know what each one is called? The biggest one in the center on the bottom of my silverado is wobbly. Not bad but i can notice it when its running and im concerned bout that. So how to know the name. Each part has a name.
What if there is oil leak under one of the pulley I have vauxhall astra j
Clean the area then start the engine to locate the exact spot where the oil is coming from. Then identify the parts required and repair
Hi guys, does anyone know where I can get this kit please?
You need to talk to Chris Mesmer on the crossfire International group on Facebook
Thank you! I was trying to figure this out on my own without success
Glad I could help
Thanks!
Thank you for supporting the channel!
I had this issue, although i was confused as my key wasn't sticking in the barrel, it wasnt turning. It got progressively worse, and i almost got stranded, so i didn't want to push my luck. So i used your video as a guide. I've never done this before, and it took me twenty minutes. Thank you!
Happy my video helped!
Hallo paul vielleicht kannst Du mir helfen.. Dein Video ist super, leider hat es bei mir nicht geholfen..Warum? Der Schlüssel lässt sich eeiterhin nicht drehen
What happens when you try shifting the transmission into neutral, does the key turn ?
Is it the same with an a200 2005? I have same issue, no start, but relay is ok. Bridge relay will get engine to start.
Never worked on the 200, have a look to see what your set up is like and inspect all contact points
Thank you for the video. My car is 97 e320 and I do not see a relay like other E320s instead has this module that you have shown. Recently was stranded in the highway ended up toeing the car home. Car would crank but would not start. Later after the car was toed home, I cranked this time car did start and running fine. Does my problem could be the same as you shown? I did not dare to drive the car since. You said this is for no crank and no start. But mine did crank but did not start in the freeway. Planning to replace CPS and Fuel filter.
Sounds like you have a bad Crank Position Sensor. See my other video on the matter car cranks but no start
thank you. Now It is the matter of finding it in the back end of my Straight 6 engine.
Thanks si very much for your time and great tip

Going with these Konis on the four corners on my 04 alabaster white limited ( red interior, manual) this wknd. I put braided brake lines as well ...she is 20 yrs old and still in love with her. I do have the mopar trunk cover as well. Question: w/o the adjustable cap, i assume the metal bar sticks out? Or did you leave the fap for the front on the rear left you dont show?
Very nice! Yes there is a removable cap to adjust the shocks. I just keep it in my glove compartment
Makes you wonder why the car manufacturer intentionally over complicates the headlights
Tell me about it 😁
I have a c230 2005 Mercedes no crank no start not sure what it can be
My 01 clk 430 is having this problem. Is it the same for mine?
If you have the same RCM, I would check it as well
$1000.00?
I unplugged the alarm, that's it, no need to replace it (optional) no problems since
Also put a piece of tape on the windshield next to the rubber blade, before removing them, easier to re-install in the exact position
Thanks for the info 👍 very helpful
Why not just buy a upgraded 6.5" set of speakers
cost and what if you already had very expensive speakers to begin with
Just got my skreem work done by Mercedes swap shop in cali. Put everything back in and key turns the engine but it doesnt start the car. Also noticed after cranking the car the key doesnt bounce back to on position. Any help ?
Great video ….
Thank you Richard
Nice video, buddy. I made a few contributions to the community, too. In the day...
Thank you for your contributions Max. It's great that we can all help one another and pass knowledge and experience to others to do the same
When testing the starter do it matter if it's a manual will it still crank with out pushing in the clutch
When testing directly from the pulse module, you are bypassing the clutch/safety neutral switch

Hello Paul, … yep , I always check anywhere on my crossfire that could possibly accumulate water . I’m going to Check out that alarm. It’s best for me to do preventative maintenance. Thanks Paul.
My headlight went out today. I will be doing this in a day or so. I already regret the entire car over this 😆 That clip everyone complains about I foresee falling off and disappearing into the ether.
Don’t sweat it, not as bad as you may think 😊
Hello Paul ; haven’t seen any new videos in a while. Hopefully you and yours are doing fine. I have a question for you , not to long. My crossfire runs great, thanks to you, and passes smog easily. I’ve notice quite a while back, but thought that now is a good time to figure it out. When I start my car, I hear a puffing sound coming from engine, exhaust, I can’t figure it out. Is there any thing that you can suggest? I checked all hoses , vacuums that I can see. Puffing sound is only heard while engine is started at idle.. Can’t hear sound when I’m driving. Like I said , car is in extremely great running condition. Please suggest anything you might think I could check out. Thanks Paul
Hi Mike. Have you checked to see if the secondary air pump turns on when you 1st start the car? It should Only run for a short time then turn off
That’s a pretty expensive part to replace. How would I know if that’s the problem. Very faint puffing sound, only when cars is first started cold. I’ve not had any error check engine lights that have come on. Had to smog it this past June. California has us smog every other year. Car runs great. I think I’ll check the hoses on secondary pump. There was a you tuber who demonstrated changing out the pump. All of his comments were about error codes lights coming on. Maybe I’m just being a little too analytical. Always been my problem. lol. Anyway, I’ll check more for any leaks. I’ll let you know what I find . Thanks Paul. I live in Palm Springs California . When I take either of my convertibles out for a drive , I get so many positive comments about my 2005 crossfire that I purchased when it was 2 years old , with 17,000 miles , now with 120,000. All from traveling from Ventura county to Palm Springs back and forth every week before I retired . My 2002 T-bird that I purchased new in may of 2003 only has 31,000. On it. But people only smile at it, but stop and talk to me about the Crossfire. You got to Love it , or Hate it. I love both my convertibles. I’ll let you go and will let you know what cure that I find. Later Paul. Take Care ! I just thought about what you said about the secondary pump turning on for short time , then turning off. Like I said before, I only hear that faint puffing sound for a very short time on first cold start up. Maybe there is no problem ; just the pump doing what you said. 🤔🤔🤔I’ll keep checking. Thanks
okay to get this right . i just delete the pin and the spring ????
Yes, that’s all you need to do 😊
@@CrossfireRepairsByPaul thank you paul ! had to get my manual convertible towed home the other night due to this. about to knock it out right now!
@@CrossfireRepairsByPaul does the manual version of the car have the connector you slid off the bottom . mine seems to be missing from that slot
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks Paul.
Happy to help buddy
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.
Wouldn't you first check to see if you have power to the switch on the upper part of the shifter counsel, then check the switch it self. Then the wiring to the seat, then if all that tests good you would go to looking at the seat. yes?
that was already done and as you can see in the video, the filaments were indeed broken. when people outside the car need something from the center console they will lean in and put their hands right on the bottom seat which stretches out the fillaments to the point of breaking.
My serpentine belt just broke. I heard a squealing noise but didn’t get proactive on it. Does the pulley wheel spin slow rugged when testing bearing failure?
the pulleys should turn easy when good and stiff and going bad
You didn’t really explain how the pulleys go bad my man. Care to share that with the rest of your viewers?
pulleys have bearings, they get used a lot, they have greased in them that go dry and can get dirt inside of them, therefore they go bad my man
@@CrossfireRepairsByPaul my belt came off and it wasn’t because of one of my pulleys or bearings. Happened a few days ago and they all turn fine with no noise. I’m guessing it’s the front crankshaft seal that broke or had grease?
@@antoninobalducci very much possible
