182 non start

[kingell0]

Hello.
My 182 turns over for a few seconds then cuts the starter out, immobiliser light on solid all the time.
Any help appreciated.
I see that EFI have an immobiliser cure by sending ecu to them for reset, anyone tried this?
Thanks.
Gary

Help! Non-starter after Gearbox Change

Hi all I've just gone through the pain of swapping the gearbox on my Trophy. The thing now won't start. It cranks for a few seconds on most tries of the key (sometimes you get nothing, but most times you get a few seconds) but never fires. It ran fine before the work started. The work has...

I have same problem I think, immobiliser light stays solid after inserting ignition key and stays constant, hate it!
I have read everything and got advice from EFI and he thinks it a broken wire from ECU to behind headlight white connector plug or from white plug to UCH in car under glovebox.
I have tried finding it by use of circuit continuance but too many wires to check, although they did say the twisted wires in loom from plug to internal are best bet.
Hope this helps and if you cure let me know please.
ECU wire goes over gearbox so maybe after the work😩

As Efi said It willmost likely be a corroded/broken wire. I found one going from the white plug to the engine loom internally corroded on one i fixed recently with same issue, wire just snapped when wiggled.

Mine was also fixed by cleaning the white connector under the fuse box - car would crank for 2s then stop. It was an immobiliser issue.

After cleaning contacts, applying a liberal amount of silicone grease and re connecting the issue has not come back for 2+ years so far. Admittedly my engine is currently not in the car so I can't test if thats still the case 🤦‍♂️

Ive also fixed a couple of green terminals in the white connectors causing issues before.

Ive noted on the clios that the engine bay fusebox cover is a s**t fit and can allow water in especially if the car is stood for periods of time without use. The one i fixed had water tracking down the spade terminals for the small relays for immob, engine loom power causing the wiring to go corroded and bad 4" into the loom. Id say if relay terminals are going green then its the start of the issue, get the contacts cleaned up and covered in silicone grease to try and slow it down.

I might look into making up a few reconditioned engine looms in the new year to help people out with these issues, new terminals and wiring where needed, re wrapped etc.
