Hi All,

I've recently purchased a early small turbo escort cosworth.(August 94). I'm led to believe it has a wipac immobiliser.(little slot beside gear lever) It is preventing the car from starting and my patience is starting to wear tin . When I bypass the starter relay I can turn the car over and when I bypass the fuel pump relay the fuel pump runs. What other circuits are immobilised.Can anyone help me with the location of the immobiliser unit itself so I can remove it or a how to guide so i can bypass it permanently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can prove ownership if need be. Im cautious posting this due to the nature of the query but I'm really stuck.

Run a wire from the plus on the battery to the plus in the coil.... That along with the fuel pump & starter bypass & the car will run

The immobiliser box is behind the glovebox attached to the bulkhead in a metal cage with 10 mm nuts

I have some Wipac removal instructions at home

Runiing a wire to the coil wont work on a ST.

rxevan93. My advice would be get a qualified auto electrician to remove the immobiliser and fit a new one. By-passing it would certainly not help you if your car was stolen as most Insurance companies insist you have a working one fitted.
Would you feel happy if you just by-pass it to leave it without one?

the wipac immobileser doesnt cut the cranking it only cuts coil and pump
are you sure its not the ford one playing up and is it a permanent problem or intermitent ?
i dont come on here very often im allways on escortrscosworth .com though same user name if you need any further help with this ?

Gents thanks for your comments. All the input was much appreciated.

Steve,
Thanks a million for your PM. Your instructions were a great help. The car fired first turn of the key. Just back from its first drive in just over a decade of being parked.!!
