hi i have a 1997 406 2 litre turbo petrol.i have a big problem the car wont start.it will if left for 12 hours.i havent a key pad on this the riecever is in the key.
i have checked the ignition wiring all is ok.the transiever around the barrel is ok too no wiring problems there
is there any way to bypass the immobilzer on this as its really getting to me.also where is the immobilser located
i was hoping i could bridge some wires to totally get rid of the immobilser but dont know where to start
please help guys.if i know what wires to bridge it together just to get it started
also the battery is fine
orcan i just change the igntion and transiever and key
many thanks in advance

Is it turning over Dave?

nope its not turning over at all so is this the starter motor thats gone?

Most likely, or just a fuse/relay. The immobiliser just cuts the ignition, not the starter

now going to get a second hand starter motor and trying that
cheers dave

Are you 100% sure the battery is ok Dave?
Same thing happened to me last Friday, stranded in Wickes carpark. Turned the key, nothing. Immobiliser was playing silly buggers so I disconnected & reconnected the battery & that started working but still no crank.
Got a jump start from the RAC & replaced battery, all fine now

it was the starter.on the old starter i put a bridge wire on and nothing just a very fast clicking with sparks.i even bought a second hand ignition barrrel and key also igntion switch swapped them over and the tramsmitter the black thing that goes arond the barrel.as i have a chip in the key.replaced starter motor
just han it cranking but not firing so put my original ignion barrel back on and original transmitter back on and it fired right away
now im left woth a key and igntion barrel i dont need.i was thinking as my orginal key wont remote central lock as the switch board inside is nacked i mean toally broken and cant solder o new switch in can the key i bought from the scrappy be programmed so it will central lock if i swap the the switch board over on my key
but happy the car now starts
cheers dave
