Immobiliser fault?
Had my son's Fiesta 1.1 Classic MOT'd yesterday. It passed, and everything was working fine. Then I washed the car and started to reverse it into the garage and it cut out. There is no spark at the plugs. Could it be the immobiliser? Sometimes the red light comes on under the clock, sometimes it doesn't. If I turn the key on and off quickly a few times I can get the red light on the right of the dashboard to start blinking. Before I start taking the air filter off to get at the distributor cap, coil, etc., is there an easy way to reset the alarm or check whether its working OK? The car hasn't been used for about 2 years, by the way. Are there any fuses that can have blown? The only thing I've touched on the car, besides a good wash, is the button on the clock to adjust the time. Cheers
