gregers Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 could this be an immobilizer problem? whats the red light doing on the drivers door when you try and start the car? do you have another key,just to rule out a problem with the key you using, oh and have you dropped the original key by chance?

gregers Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 the reason i ask,if you had the pats chip has a tendency to drop out and peeps dont realize it has then have problems starting. so weve ruled that out then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
