Basically my car was running and starting perfect and then once it had been parked up and I went to start it up again nothing happens.
When I go to turn to the car over, the immobiliser light illuminates and remains in a solid red state - forcing the engine not to turn over and all that can be heard are electrical noises coming inside the engine bay and from the UCH module in the passenger side footwell.
I've made several attempts of trying to get rid of the solid red light after searching the web for some guides (leaving the key in the ignition for so long, holding the central locking button whilst turning the key, etc). But none of them have seemed to work. However, I had managed to lose the red light a few times which I had thought had solved the problem, but as soon as I went to turn the engine over all I could hear was a 'click' and then once I would try it again the solid red light would re-appear.
I have done the following to try and resolve the problem;
- Replaced batteries in key fobs
- Tried it with the spare key (with new battery)
- Cleaned the TDC sensor
- Checked the fuses both in the dashboard and under the bonnet (none blown)
- Checked the condition of the relay pins for any corrosion and swapped them around
- Replaced the battery with a new one
- Checked the condition and cleaned all of the earth straps (3 of them) under the bonnet
I'm not sure where to take it from here, any help would be greatly appreciated!
