A failed crank sensor won't necessarily put the engine management light on. Do the pefal trick & see what code (if any) it comes up with.

swapped the crank sensor already for the one off my other 3.2 and it still wont start

is there a how to guide on the pedal trick

thanks

Think I am correct in saying that if crank sensor is ok . . as you turn ignition on the rev counter needle just flicks a tad .

But as you say you have no dash lights at all  . . . so this may not be the case in your situation as the whole dash pod may not be working      If not already done  . .. try reseating the pod by pushing firmly towards front of car . But IMO unlikely an incorrectly located pod would stop the engine from turning over.

I would be asking the question on here of  which fuse/fuses or earthing points are liable to stop these dash lights from coming on .  HTH

I thought they were type specific?

Post no. 1 says 2.6       . . . .  2.6 & 3.2  use the same crank sensor I believe

[swordfish]

well that stops the pedal trick  because no dash lights to flash up ,,
could it be ecu immobilizer failure ,, or dash pod failure i wonder ??

Sorry have just read through complete thread again  . . .So engine does turn over but will not start   & there are no dash lights at all in any key position?

Is there any life from the dash pod at all ? are indicator greens working when switched on  , main beam blue when flashed? background lights for dash etc. ?

[swordfish]

correct , everything works but the dash pod lights and it spins over as it should

Electrics are not my strong point sadly ,so you may to wait for a more knowledgeable oofer to reply,

but if no warning lights at all, it may be worth checking out the ecu connection in the main   relay/fuse box next to the battery. (black triangular shaped box . . lid flips from the front) may be worth unlatching & relocating the ECU connection     but only a suggestion

Also there a  couple of main electrical push in  connector blocks below/side of battery area

[swordfish]

ok thanks

Check the separate Black Earth Cable strap to the ECU is not loose, check the 2 ECU main plugs are tight, or undo re connect them, check all your Battery terms and main Earth is all tight etc. on the 2.6/3.2's just before you crank the Engine you should hear some relay clicks type sound from the throttle Boddies and the purple relay(s) in the front fuse box.

Are you saying the engine lights do NOT come on with ign? If not, fix that first.

[swordfish]

i have just checked. the lights work main beam and warning light works indicators work and i can here the clicking relays nr the battery ,,it seems its just the warning lights in the pod  that are not  coming on

[swordfish]

i have just fitted a new  pod but still no ignition lights
