Hi Folks,
I have a recurring problem with the immobiliser. It will activate first thing when trying to start and also whilst driving at random. I lose ignition and starter until it allows starting again usually after several turns of the ignition key from off to start. I've looked for the immobiliser where the Haynes manual states (Under the centre console) but its not there. Anyone any idea where it is hidden on the Mk2 Mondeo. Mine is a '97 model 5door.
Cheers

Adrian

Hi,
I've placed a new thread in the technical help forum. It appears the immobiliser is up n under the drivers footwell. I will get it checked out when i get back home later. I do have all the keys, Red, red spot and remote.

Cheers
Adrian

i know you can reset the imobilizer with the red key

Would that mean it would automatically reset whilst driving, or is there a procedure to reset it once the car is stopped. I've a 125 mile journey to work and at the moment its cutting out once or twice each way. Turning the ignition off and on a couple of times seems to get it going most of the time, but on occasions i've been almost at a standstill or have to stop to restart the car again.
Just surprised that Fords haven't done a recall on these units as they are a positively dangerous system to have fail like this.

Regards

no when youve stopped it resets the whole car system
