DocRabMcQueen Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Hey folks, I was just doing a few checks of my car today and I went to turn on the ignition, now usually I turn the keys to the point where all the electrics are on, then I push the button on the fob then turn it to turn the car on, I accidentally went too far this time and went to start it straight away and I think I've set the immobilizer off, the car is now dead and won't turn on or react to the locking fob (I can't actually lock the car).Can anyone please help??-DocPs: The manufacturer is hornet.

Taggy Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Doesnt sound like an imobilizer, it should only kill the ignition not the whole cars electrics. Do the head lights work when you turn them on to check the battery?After that i would check the battery in the key fob, then if your still having no luck, turn your focus to your fueses in the dash and then the engine bay.That should be a good start for you to fault diagnose it Quote
Starlet__SR Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Have you popped the fuse for the immobiliser? Normally under the steering column with the rest of the wiringD Quote
DocRabMcQueen Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Cheers folks, I'll have a look see once the rain goes off.Thinking about it when I did do it there was a 'pop' noise when it happened so that might be it.But yeah the electrics are totally dead Quote
bucketep91 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Chexh your battery terminals are secure aswell Quote
ryan33hks Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 If you heard a pop then id say a fuse has gone aswell Quote
DocRabMcQueen Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Cheers folks, I'll have a go tomorrow morning. Quote

DocRabMcQueen Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Hi folks went to have a look for this fuse and I can't actually find the thing, can anyone give me some pointers as to where it might be or maybe even a picture please?Cheers-Doc Quote
