Car won't start

Featured Replies

Hi everyone can someone help.

 

I got a Ford Focus C Max 56 reg plate. I had the clutch changed and drove the car home everything fine. I went to drive it the next day and everything was fine going down the street turned the corner to go up hill and the car just stopped. I thought I had stalled it but it would not tuned over. I was next to an electricity transformer thing if that makes a difference it was fine until I got there. 

The car opens with the key fob and is alarmed all the electrics work the car tuns on and clicks but wont start. When I try to start it the computer screen thing on the dash goes blank and has all these little black squares across it and the red light between the petrol and temp gauge dials keeps flashing. Also the radio keeps asking for code it lost it the same time the car would not start again. 

 

Was wondering if the immobilizer is stuck on or if the key fob has lost its code? 

 

Any help appreciated, Cerys.

To me sounds like there's an immobilizer issue.

That electricity transformer I'd say has nothing to do with it.

Have you checked for error codes?
