burnsy5shoes Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I have a 05 ford focus lx but having a few problems. When I start the car up the, the red light starts flashing on the dash (think its for the immobiliser, the car shudders and after a few seconds the car cuts out. The battery light comes on like the car has stalled. This happens a few times before I press the accelerator and the car eventually moves off but the light continues to flash for a few mins after driving. I took this to a mechanic and he ran it through his diagnostic machine and all that came back was it was a transponder error and he advised me to contact a key guy as it sounded like a battery fault. Phoned the key guy and he said its not a key fault. Car keeps doing it all the time and now my radio won't work as its needed a code, I'm beginning to this there may be an electrical fault but wishing to see if anyone can help on here before the ford garage takes a few hundred quid off me!!! Also my car shakes a lot when going more than 60 mph and the rev counter is about 3500 revs, is this normal??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
