Default I need a priest

Ok so My wife took the car to work as usual.
she gets to work shuts it off. tries to roll passenger window up will not work.(mind you power stays on in vehicle till door is opened).At lunch she goes to start it NO power
puts foot on break powers right up, Then alarms goes off.
she pulls out of the parking garage and car dies no power to engine.Security lit pops on. ok turns key off then back on good to go stops to get gas key is 12 inches away from ignition and radio turns.
OK so i'm thinking i need a priest I have went thru the wiring with a fine tooth comb i give up..
I think it's time to get rid of it

Sounds like either a bad ground or your PCM or BCM is drastically loose. A familiar experience with my brothers car, he would hit a bump and the entire car would shut off - end result was the PCM was loose.

Check those first.

last month when i had simliar problem i double grounded the batt. got a new battery the plates in old one were broken. pcm is tight checked that too last time.
since i have tried everything under the sun to fix it has to be possessed.
I thought maybe the security module was going out since the alarm has been acting funny too. But i have no clue how to check that or even where it is located.

Also check battery terminals for loose, bad connection or severe corrosion.

How old is your battery?

I had some issues similar to this with my WS6 when the battery charge was low and it got real cold like it is today. It caused all kinds of freaky behavior in the car. Now I leave the car on a battery tender all the time and I haven't had an issues since.

Sadly, it's probably a wire in the harness UNDER the PCM. Or it's possessed. Has it spun around & spit green pea soup out of the airbox yet?

if it spits green pea soup out i'm sending it to live with you LOL.
When i first got the car a wire going to the PCM was arcing i soldered it.that wire show nomore resistance then the others after i fixed it..all wires look happy when tested.but still it may be the problem wire. so you wanna meet at hooter and we all get drunk and do a exorcism on it with the hooter girls..
may not work but all the tities on it would help me out alot.


Jake My battery is only a month old

I have had issues on and off for 2 yrs with the car never have figured it out.;(
thanks everybody.so does anyone know where to get the pcm tested itself.
or have a spare one i could borrow for a test. Only thing i have not tried is a change out of PCM.
