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

 

had this problem on a transit van of mine mate and it was the transponder in the key

 

Do you have the red key?

 

Has someone locked it with the key???
Try unlocking it with the key as the ford alarm stays on on mine even though unlocked with the blipper!!

 

it is no longer fitted with a transponder in the key.. never had one in since i have owned it !! the doors have not been locked by a key either..

how do you bypass the key transponder ( so i can check this is still ok)

Thanks for your help people

 

you need the red immob key from ford me thinks... that over-rides the ford immobiliser

 

??? any other ideas.. I was planning on going out for a good blast in it tonight.... dont look like thats happening anymore!!

Matt

 

Just try locking and unlocking with the key!!!

 

tried it...................... didnt work..

 

agree with above

lock it and unlock it disables the car immobiliser

 

 

dammit!!

 

the fucking thing is gonna get if I cant go out later...

 

have you tried the double lock thingy though, i.e. turn anti clockwise first then lock clockwise - that should do the deadlocks, then unlock again!!??????

 

the car is not fitted with deadlocks mate!!

 

have you tried to lock the car manually and unlock it manually with the key

 

have you tried drinking alot of lager and having another go in the morning , when it happened to my tranny it ended up getting trailered back to ford, soz mate

 

I know wot your saying pal... I brought it back from work on the low loader now the bloody thing is stuck in the garage and wont run... I like the idea about the beers though everything seems better after some lager!!

 

BTTT

 

 

If you have a stock ford ecu in it ,then it must still have "pats" fitted.

is it eec 4 ?

as far as im aware puddy it is Eec4

 

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 ..

 

yes it is EEC IV

 

If so ,"pats"is in the ecu then.

How did they disable it ,stick the transponder to the pick up for the key?

Thats on the ignition barrel under the s/column cowl.

Have you got any other pats keys for the car?
