Urgent as we are going on holiday tomorow !!!!!

my dad has got a problem with his immobiliser on his escort.
it is an aftermarket one with a slot in the dash where you place a little fob into, which then deactivates the imobiliser.
but he has just gone to start it but when he placed the fob into the slot nothing happend ( normaly a flashig LED goes out but nothing )

can anyone help in any way, like how to reset it...
will disconecting the battery reset it?
or is it to do with the little fobs..

its like this... first one on the page http://www.kleenacar.co.uk/carsecurity.htm

any help would be much appreciated

Any joy yet chris ?

 

unfortunatly not

 

Disconnecting the battery may or may not do any thing always worth a try tho.

Do you have another dis arm fob to try just in case. Are the pickup contacts clean?

Silly stuff i know but worth checking.

Its prob a 2 point system so you can bypass it to get you outta trouble and it should not be too hard.

Only time i have had a problem with these types of imob i have had to replace them so it maybe worth bypassing it and booking the car in for a new one.

I know that leaves it unprotected but if you can drive it to your local alarm place they maybe able to fit a new one almost straight away for you

 

Maybe not the best solution but you could always call out an auto leccy me mate had a similar problem called one out he just by-pasted it..

 

both dis arm fobs wont work and we go on holiday tomorow so dont have time to take it any where,

well atleast no one will be able to start it whilst we are away,

thanks anyway guys

 

Is it new ?

What I mean is are you doing it correct ? Some need the ignition on, some need it off. Some have a time limit before they shut off, and some can be re-set by switching the ignition on and off say 5 times quickly.

 

no it was on before he bought the car, a mate had it before him. had it for about 3 yrs now and never had any trouble with it, until he went to start it before. so its not like i'm doing it wrong. ill try switching it on and off 5 times now

 

no tried switching the ignition on and off and still the same
