RE: HELP ME PLEASE ANYONE
how much did you pay for someone to watch the car?
did you try the other keys? how does the red and green light reacts to the key when you push the lock and unlock button? do you want to synchronize the key? do you need instructions? what is your chassis number? please check if your car is still there! |

Hey Sleepwalker
Please remind me not to call you when i am feeling down! i paid about £15 for the guy to watch my car the key is not the alarm kind there are no fandangled chritstmas tree red and green lights a button to lock a button to unlock and a button to open the boot i called my friend last night who removed the battery - terminal at around 3am and he has just called to say that he has replaced it and still the same the unlocking and locking and opening of the boot still works but thats it when i stick the fob in the ignition there is nothing the key does not communicate with the car YES PLEASE if you have instructions i would be grateful can i synchronise the damned key? if so HOW? please please please be a friend i am at my wits end now no sleep and plenty of worrying thanks in advance |
RE: HELP ME PLEASE ANYONE
the red and green light i mean is on the rearview mirror or door handle.
anyway, i got no idea of your car model and you didn't give me the VIN yet. have you tried using another key? seems the transponder is faulty. |

RE: HELP ME PLEASE ANYONE
Can't you have it towed to somewhere safe? You're about to give birth to a cow from all the worrying.

RE: HELP ME PLEASE ANYONE
andy, according to your VIN, the car is already using EIS (electronic ignition switch) which is not programmable.
*as i say, try using another key (you got 3). **check that the battery is okay and connectors. i think the EIS is faulty if you insert the key on the ignition, any telltale signals? |
RE: HELP ME PLEASE ANYONE
sleep walker
there is no tell tale signs other than the ignition make sno noise when i put the key in before it would make a click and sucking noise everything is normal the courtesy lights etc light when i open up the doors and the fob actually opens and locks the central locking as well as open the trunk it is all just the ignition i cannot have the car towed anywhere due to i dont want to bust the steering lock and there is no spare key any further suggestions so synchronising the key is not an option any more? andy |
