Benj1987 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hi, Hopefully someone will be able to help. My girlfriend has a 2005 Ka which recently has developed an issue with not starting. I have read through a few of the other forum posts and I think it is an immobiliser problem as the little red LED on the clock flashes quickly when turning the ignition and the car wont start, not even turn over. On of the solutions mentioned is to check the relay is working properly as they are prone to failing. My question is which relay is it as I'm struggling to find any diagrams anywhere. I can upload a picture of the realys if that helps. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan62 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 If the light continues to flash the immobiliser part of the ECU is inhibiting the start. If the key is on a keyring with other keys remove it, if you have a 2nd key try that. The ECU should log a fault code, so you will need to get the codes read.

Benj1987 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunate having to get a mobile mechanic out to have a look at it. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benj1987 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Just to let anyone know if the same problem is happening to them, it ended up being a dead battery! We had previously charged it to rule it out as the issue, but obviously not long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
