[stevossaxo]

hi guys, as al scott and damo already know i have managed to fcuk my sax, i have a 96 1.1, with a keypad immobilisor, i get a green light then try to turn on the car and it still wont start, has anyone else had this problem?!

[Scott]

does it try to start? i.e. does it attempt to kick over, or when you turn the key does nothing happen at all?

[pug_boe]

ye i did - i got the same imobiliser as well - thats when my starting motor was fukd up - the lights were coming on but nothing else

[stevossaxo]

saxogirlboe- did u have a green light?! by meaning the lights were on what do u mean. i had a service last week so i dont think its the engine, but could be. a big co insodence!i have cut the ignition wire - it must be electrics?!

[pug_boe]

you mean green light as in when you tapped the imobilser code in yea - ye it was green - and i mean dashboard lights sorry, im not v good at cars sorry lol but thats what happened to mine

[Scott]

starter motor would have been my next suggestion

[pug_boe]

lol it would be bloody amazing if im right lol smileys/smiley17.gif

[stevossaxo]

ok guys thanks! - i have found this on a site- what do u reckon scott, worth a try!?
Turn the ignition on, green light on, Enter your 4 digit code, After the 4 beeps & 4 flashes from the green light enter C 0 C on the keypad.

Then turn the ignition off, get out shut the door & wait a minute.

[Scott]

well if immobiliser is working and not stopping the fuel being injected and when you turn the key nothing happens then either the immobiliser is playing silly buggers or the starter is dead as its the next link in hte chain

when my starter motor went the imobiliser was fine it even made the noise it makes - jst when i turned the key nothing would happen - erm i know this is naughty but try hitting it with a hammer and it might work lol

[stevossaxo]

i think i have caused enough damage to it already! lol. shall i try that C 0 C on my immobilisor thing?!

[pug_boe]

id try it personally - when i say hit it i dont mean hard like i did lol - if what your doing dont work - jst tap the starter motor then it should work

[stevossaxo]

tryed it, didnt work, still dont start, it did seem to reset something in the immobilisor tho, maybe it is a HUGE co- insodence and the starter motor has gone at the sane time! smileys/smiley5.gif smileys/smiley5.gif smileys/smiley13.gif

[pug_boe]

my starter motor just went lol - 1 day i went to start it and the key just turned - phoned the garage they said hit it with a hammer and then it worked - but every few days it died again so i just took it to the garage
sorry but this is amazing if im right hehe

[stevossaxo]

thanks for ur help, gona sound really think, but where do i find it?! worth a try, seeing as i cant c how its the immobilisor as its green light?!

[pug_boe]

where did i find what? the starter motor? i duno lol - at first i was whacking the alternator lol and it vibrated lol i think its on the right hand side nr the battery somewhere - jst tap around there and it started

[stevossaxo]

hmmm, well ok, i will find out where it is and if somebody here would point it out smileys/smiley5.gif ! i will give it a go!

[pug_boe]

[stevossaxo]

my starter motor fucked up a few weeks ago but i could still start the car by bumpin it, have u tried bumpstartin it???? if it dunt bump then i think the immobilisor thats fucked, soz i cunt be more help m8

[stevossaxo]

have thought that,may give it ago tom, cheers pal

[pug_boe]

i cant find the pic but il ask my dad in the morning lol - in the haynes manual it soes say this mind:
1. if the starter motor fails tom operate when the ignition key uis turned to the appropriate position, the following possible causes may be to blame:
a. the battery is faulty
b. the electrical connections between the switch,solenoid, battery and starter motor are somewhere failing to pass the necessary current from the battery through the starter to the earth
c. the solenoid is faulty
d. the starter motor is mechanically or electrically defective

i shall find out in the morning for you lol im off to bed

[pug_boe]

right i just asked my dad for you and its just behind the alternator- so you should have your alternator on the left hand side of the engine - so you can either do it by getting a hammer - putting it under the alternator but heading towards the back and give it a tap or dad said you can get to it sometimes by giving it a tap on the side.
hope that helps you

[stevossaxo]

sorted. my sis mate (whos a mechanic) came round and re wired a few things now its all good! thanks for all help ppl
