Title: does the engine turn over if the imobiliser is on
Post by: VonnStormer on 27 May 2010, 18:08:18

I changed my fob battery , central locking works ok , car turns over but won't start , don't know if the car would turn over if the fob wasn't talking to the car . The light  on dash dnt indicate a fault , not sure any help welcomed . ps, tried the sync key but it didn't lock n unlock , help

is the small immobiliser chip still attached to the horseshoe bit of the key?

If thats all youve changed, £1 to 1p, its fallen out.

I have sort of similar - where my key will operate the central locking, but only after about 5 or so presses. Soon as it works, it carries on working seemingly until there is a fairly long time frame. Starts the car fine.
I thought 'resync time' so put key in ignition, turned ignition on, pressed lock and unlock - nothing. It will unlock the car when I sit in it and manually press the lock button down, then unlock with the remote fob in the ignition, but this doesn't sync it. also, it won't open the boot
any ideas gratefully received!

Are the switches on the keyfob ok?

They do tend to come away from the board, causing any button presses to become somewhat errattic

just a  thought?

yeah perfectly good thought.. but i did have it apart when I changed the battery (got car recently) and can't see the buttons are loose. just decides when IT wants to open the car.. not me!
