Mk2 Ph1 Immobilser Problem

[Plattsy]

Anyone know how to fix this...
When the ignition is turned on the light keeps flashing repeatedly, doesnt go off and obviously the car wont start.
The manual says either the car doesnt recognise the key or there is a fault with immobiliser.

Anyone able to help?
Thanks
Craig

if it flashes that means its working.
if it stays on its armed.
does it crank/turn over?

im having the exact same problem as are a few people. I had to get a new key for mine

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

when mine flashed nothing happend
when it stayed on it tried to turn over but wouldn't start

its turnin over but not starting and the light doesnt go off like it should jus stays on and keeps flashin...

Is it the key then?

Ive heard that u can turn ignition on... hold central lockin button down then take key out and put it back in or sumthin.... aparently that works... ne1 kno?

How much did it cost James and where did u get the key? a renault dealer/specialist?

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

I have just got of the phone to a company called camco 88 im going to collect it now.

I get discount from here so basically you need to go to renault.
New key plus having it coded plus hours labour is about 150

This is one of the most common faults with clios

anyone know the correct method to disarm immobiliser?

 

[MrMark]

Yep, use the key.

lol... unfortunately i already tried that one

I have had problems for months with mine, in the end I shoved a second battery inside the back of the main board inside the key (it may be a squeeze to put the key casing back together) and it works every time!!

If anyone else tries this let me know how you get on!!

Beforehand it took me 5-10 mins each time to start the bleedin' thing!

do the keys have to come from renault?? cant they be coded by other people?

 

[Plattsy]

Not unless they have very good diagnostics or a Renault clio cmputer.
