PH1 Clio 172
I have searched the forums firstly and found many ppl to have had similar problems to this, however their fixes havent worked, or their threads havent been updated with if it was ever fixed or not...
About 3 weeks ago my Clio's central locking & immobiliser started to play up, it would fire up then cut out and then not fire at all unless you sat clicking the fob constantly, other times it would start first time.
It has now decided to give up the ghost all together though, and the immobiliser appears to be permanently stuck on. Fast flashing light in centre of dials, turns over but wont fire...
I have scoured the web and found & tried all of the below possible fixes:
1) re-solder key (Battery terminals had come loose)
2) tried re-sync'ing - Holding down RAID/Central locking button on centre console until the light turns solid and then clicking the key-fob.
3) Replaced decoder ring to no avail.
4) checked all fuses etc.
5) went to the extreme lengths of removing the dash board looking for any shorts etc.
6) obtained the immobiliser key override code (4 Digit Code) however following the instructions doesnt appear to allow me to enter the code to over ride it (maybe user error or its not compatible with my car?)
I have tinkered with most things on the car tbh now and tried almost everything. I dont have a spare key for the car (Just the one key).
So before i have to tow it to renault and have my wallet raped by them, i was just wondering as a last ditch effort if anyone had any other idea's?
Many thanks in advance for any advice offered!
Cheers
Dave
