Evenin all, I've searched the forum's and can't find the bit I need help with,
Worked fine, all of a sudden after being sat few weeks.
Locks and unlocks, put key in dash and nothing, DEAD, doesn't release steering lock, had battery on charge, even had jump leads on it from my other car as someone mentioned low battery voltage, any help much appreciated.
Mechanic for 35+ yrs but baffled at mo

Thanks for reply, have tried another battery off my other car, worked fine 2weeks ago, was stood for. 18months, jumped it, ran all day, have moved it few weeks ago and fine, all earth points checked, all fuses checked, I think I've checked the lot unless something I've overlooked

My reader only works if the if ignition on?

Been messing, when key inserted the stop start button does light up?, hear a faint buzz for a sec, still not unlocking steering lock or putting ignition on, could this be the key reader?

 

[rustwizzard]

Yeah tried that too ?

Previously when key inserted, it clunks releasing steering lock, it's not getting to that point, just seems wierd, only done 30k and not worn or dirty, tried yet another battery diesel 600cca ) same,

Usually when key fob inserted it unlocks steering, it's not doing that, could it be that daft key reader?

Tried?

 

[rustwizzard]

No, bone dry, no damp, no corrosion, was fine, only been sat a fortnight, last time t was sat 18months, jumpers to n it n fired

New battery still same, earth's good, resistances good, still not recognising key in slot, ribbon ok on keyreader, can't find clutch switch but surely that wouldn't stop ignition coming on, just stops cranking, ???
