Good evening - I wonder if anyone has any intelligence on this please?
I have changed the ignition switch (lock stock and barrel) after the other one fell to pieces. That was fun, drilling out the old shear bolts, but I persevered.
As far as I can tell, the black immobiliser ring doesn't come off the assembly.
Moreover, the tiny immobliser plug that fits onto the ring wasn't the same type...
So I smashed the old immobiliser ring off the old ignition, plugged it in and rested it in the steering column housing to see if it would make anything better.
It didn't. So now I have the immobiliser light flashing and the remote fob doesn't work. The alarm is intemperate but I can drive the car because it has a proboost ECU in it.
What is the answer please? will it work if I put the redundant key part next to the old immobiliser ring or is the transponder in the bit with the battery?
I have two spare keys so was thinking that if the transponder is in the bit with the battery I could just hide one next to the old immobiliser ring and get another new key cut so I have two working keys.
Any advances please?
Best wishes
Simon
