So my partner is having a mid-life crisis and bought a Chrysler SRT6 sports car. Purchased sight-unseen from the middle of nowhere, with a 12 hour drive to get....just say "back" for now to avoid a complicated story. He had driven about ¾ a tank of gas, and the car sputtered to a stop in an intersection. Ok, new to him car, maybe the gas gage is inaccurate, so he called AAA. Adding a few gallons of gas didn't solve the problem.
He had done some research beforehand, and knew that a common fault was in one of the car control modules. Fortunately, there's nothing but relays in this module, one of while controls the fuel pump; cracked solder joints are a common fault. One theory is that a large connector isn't well supported, leading to cracks.
This happened in a small town, and he didn't have any tools. I could have walked him through fixing it if he could get a soldering iron and solder. But there was an easier solution at hand – a TV repair shop! He called them, and they said they'd be happy to resolder it. Fortunately, the module is easy to get out of the car.
The technician did a bangup job, problem solved and car runs great. But the technician said it wasn't a cracked joint. He believes this one connector had some foreign material on it when the module was assembled, and the pins were not properly soldered to start with. He was surprised it would have left the factory that way.
Only around 600 of these cars were built, and this failure is commonplace. Maybe the whole lot of connectors was improperly stored and somehow contaminated.
