Immobiliser Active Mode & Drivers Window Won't Go Back Up But All Other Windows Will.

Featured Replies

Hello All & Hope Is Well With As Much Happy Safe Motoring As Much As Can Be With Our Fords Lol 😆.  My Query Is That I Was Changing The Middle Interior Light Bulb On Our S Max 2.0ltr Diseal 2010 Model & When I Switched The Ignition On The Interior Lights No Longer Came On, So Had A Look At Fuse Boards (Under Glove Box & Rear) Noticed A Red Fuse Had Gone So Replaced It But To No Avail They Still Didn't Eluminate, So Thought I'll Leave It For Now & Check Tomorrow After Mrs Takes Kids To School. She Returned To Inform Me That The Electric Windows Won't Operate? So I Checked The Owners Manual & Tried The Key Fob Button Sequence Via YouTube Videos & Drivers Side Wouldn't Work Even The Windows Lock Button Wasn't Light. So I Tried All The Other Windows One By One & They Worked So Was Only Drivers Side That Never. So Checked Fuses For Windows In Rear (25amp Tan) & Where All Fine. Carried On With Various Buttons Sequences & Key In Door Etc & Was Getting The 3 Windows Automatically Shut Or Open But Not The Drivers Side. This Carried On For Several Hours With Car Alarm Going Off & Then I Click The Fob To Switch It Off, Even Disconnected The Battery Terminal & To No Avail Where Eventually Kept Getting Dash Message "Alarm Triggered, Imobilizer Active". No Crank On Turn Of The Key Even Tried Our Spare Key But No Engine Turn Just Deadly Silence. So A Tip On The Famous YouTube Of Undoing The Battery Terminal For Half An Hour At Least & To The Right Of The Battery Is A Imobilizer Wire Attached By A Small 13mm Bolt That Said If You Undo Sandpaper The Area & WD40 Aswel As Scrape Paint To Metal Then You Have A Better Connection To Car (In Which I Must Only Presume Is An Earth Wire For Imobilizer I'm Guessing) & That Would Reset The Imobilizer & Dash Message Would Clear With Many Successful Comments In The Video From Watchers. But Again To No Avail & A Mechanic Friend Who's Not An Auto Electrician Plugged In His Meter & Got This Message He Can Only Presume Is The Data Not Being Received From The Key. So Asked A Key Expert Advice Who Said That The Car Is Reading The Keys Perfectly & He'd Check In Shop (If I Could Get Them To Him) Free Of Charge That There Programmed But His Experience Is That They Will Be Fine & A Common Ford Fault Is The Ignition Coil In or Around The Barrel & Is A Cheap Enough Self Fit Of Around £20 & That Should Do The Trick. I've Not Tried This Yet As Unsure If I Wanna That Far & Have Had To Take Window Off Clip Runner To Manually Lift To Close Due To A Threat Of Rain Overnight But Definitely Seem To Be Getting No Power To Drivers Door Window Switch & Interior Lights Yet All Other Lights, Radio, Cigarette Lighter Etc All Work Fine. Any Ideas 💡 Guys Please Please Please Its Cracking Me Up & Suffer With Chemotherapy Induced Fibromyalgia So Pain & Fatigue From The Stress Is Basically Drained Me Of All Energy Resources That I'm Gonna Need A Full Day Of Bed Rest N Recharge To Go Again. In Meantime I Hope You All Stay Safe & Have A Happy Memorable Weekend Ahead. Kind Regards & Godbless Tim 🙏
