... went to start my car after work today and it wouldnt start the only thing different is that the standard ford alarm light is flashing fast on the dashboard when the ignition is turned on... How can i bypass the standard immobiliser/alarm ? tryed unpluging the grey box in the drivers footwell but still the same problem!!

PLEASE HELP

Thanks

Matt

 

Try tu close the car with the key and then open again the car, I´d the same problem as you and it was the solution

 

already tried that mate with no joy.. thanks for tryin!!

 

another solution y take off the fuse of the alarm

 

taking the fuse out of the alarm does not bypass the immobiliser !!

Matt

 

are you sure? an swicht off the alarm ecu?

 

it does on teh ford one - its teh 20A fuse on its own on teh relay side of teh fuse box ...

 

The sensor that reads the chip key is located under the steering column shroud, it sits over the ignition, it might be worth checking that?

 

right.... found out what it is....

I have been driving the car for the last 18 months with a plain key (no chip in the key due to being bypassed before i owned the car when an alarm was fitted). Today it decides it wants to read a chipped key again!! why is this? and also how would they have bypassed the chip?
I only found this out because i tried my spare key (still a plain one) and this one (the old door key) was next to it... so now i have to put the ignition key in and wave the old door key around the barrel ..
