Is the remote locking Infrared or RF?

[nij]

Yeah, see what you mean, thats not right.

You shorted out pins 4 and 6?  (also, presumably, it doesn't flash without the paperclip, indicating immobiliser fault?)

if I dont put the paperclip in it just flashes constantly without any flickers

no remote just central locking on the key, it has seperate keys for central locking and ignition

This to me suggests a problem with the immobiliser, I'm assuming it has the Infra red alarm type with the red pimple on the sunroof panel.

[nij]

just checked and it does have a red pimple near the interior light, can it be bypassed?

I know there are ways to bypass them but best not publicised on a forum.

Have you tried to resync the alarm remote at all.

Thats the engine ECU is immobilised.

The IR type can be bypassed. Not sure how to do it, but best kept to private messages if anyone does....

Not sure if this would help but would disconnecting the battery and reconnecting then doing a an alarm resync solve this.

Does the IR immobiliser still use a transponder? Don't think it does, but may be wrong?

Nixoro - resync is for remote, not immobiliser.

Ok thats where i'm getting in a muddle.

Would a battery disconnect and reconnect help do you think?

Nope.

I'v had the battery diconected twice now for around 15 mins and its still the same, I'v also tried the on/off 25 times and the on/off 30 times with 5 seconds in between, this is driving me up the wall now

Just an idea

have you checked to see if any of the fuses have blown i'm sure there is a fuse for the immobiliser unit somewhere, worth checking.

[nij]

I'v checked all the fuses under the steering colum and replaced the relays but havnt cheched the relays under the bonnet yet, that will have to be tomorrows job coz its throwin it down now! could the crank sensor stop a car starting?
