Yup, I am going to work my way on the non SCIL/PATS side, I am hoping this car has a bolt with a loop terminal on the starter and not like the earlier cars with the spade tip..other than they fail like this. Another thing is I have always gotten a check transmission and it is for the thermister...

...was I move the switch. Tilting it always goes a little ways the opposite way then usually in the selected position. Now that I fixed whatever was taking out my SCIL and requiring me to pull the battery (and it defaulting back to easy entry, reverse mirror dip, etc) I don't really care as much.

...bk/lb is used as ground on many switches.... they all run to the vlcm after the vlcm all bk/lb run into a connector that changes it to black which is grounded to the frame and the battery....if you think the ground is bad on the SCIL simply run a jumper wire from the battery to pin 14....bk/lb.

From playing around with the SCIL when my aftermarket HIDs would disable it, the ground is the black wire on pin 7 of the same connector the white/pink one is to the start circuit. There is a logic ground also but in my experience it is one on connector 287

Since grounding pin 85 on the fuse box would allow the car to crank, could the moisture have caused the problem by causing corrosion on the ground coming off the SCIL ? Where is the ground located on the frame ?

Going back to the OP... with the battery removed for 8 months I would suspect either the wet SCIL or a bad connection on the DTR (from corrosion). I guess at this point, I would try to establish a ground path for the starter relay on both sides of the DTR. If grounding between the relay...

Thinking along the same lines....check its in park wiggle shifter to make sure. try to eliminate the DTR. If it still wont start I'm thinking the SCIL is shot from getting soaked.

Yes, PATS is in the SCIL. Since they already confirmed that the starter relay is getting 12v (I GUESS on pin 85, the red and orange wire), Checking for ground on pin 86 red/light blue wire. If no ground when trying to start, I would try in neutral and wiggle the shifter around to be sure it...

i thought PATS was in the SCIL?

OMG, I should've braved the cold and went out to the garage and looked at the Gen2 manual... I totally forgot about the SCIL. :eek: I wonder if this means it's a PATs issue or an SCIL issue?

...shows it going to the DTR: This is where it goes to the DTR: This shows that it goes from ignition switch to starter relay (12v) and how ground goes from SCIL to DTR, and if in park or neutral, to the starter relay. Pinouts for the rest of the SCIL connectors just for fun: 286: 288...

The SCIL module was removed, but there doesn't appear to be any visual damage. Using a test probe on the SCIL connectors will activate various electrical parts (i.e. trunk release, message console on/off, steering wheel telescope/tilt, etc.). The above diagram shows a white/pink wire going...

That does not sound good, maybe let it sit in some white rice to try and dry the the scil.... I have heard cell phone stories of it working:p

Upon opening the glove box, there was moisture on the SCIL and other parts in there - enough to thoroughly wet your hand.

This might help. http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/showthread.php?86194-SCIL-problems-solved-I-got-info

...on the starter relay, the test light's ground is clamped on the battery's negative terminal and the test light probe touches the other end of the speaker wire, the engine will crank when the ignition is in the Crank position. 2) Where is the SCIL module ? 3) How do you test the SCIL...

...but the lights eventually worked ok. This happened a few times, but it hasn't happened in quite a while now. I agree with driller, maybe the SCIL or a wiring issue, but since mine works ok now I can't troubleshoot it. Let us know when you find out what the problem is as I'm pretty sure...

Well, now you know why the fuse was missing! :p I'm thinking the SCIL is the culprit?

2 stock rear shocks in ok used condition.................................50 Can you send me a picture and total with shipping to 33541

...that, those jump/boost packs are the way to go. Generally to pop trunks I use the battery pack on my impact driver, but like with the Gen II and SCIL, you can't just jump it with a power pack, you have you power the car. If it won't front/back then generally up still works, and that can help.
