Hi all,
My W124 96 300d estate developed a starting problem and the ignition was bypassed by the AA to get me home.
When I bought the car it had no remote fob and the driver door lock and ignition were damaged so I replaced with second hand parts which worked OK although the imobiliser never worked and I was happy to use the key.
However I recently had a veggie glow plug heater kit installed and the live wire shorted out after being crimped by the suspension bush of all things .The kit is on its own relay connected straight to battery with on /off switch on dash which is back working also.
There were no fuses gone and everything still works fine doors, roof ,windows lights etc.However it will now not start unless you open bonnet and bypass ignition using the temp fix from AA
I now have the imobiliser light on the dash flashing first time in 3 years , so its imobilised somehow due to the short and I do not have the fob.
I have a remote fob that came with the replacement door lock and ignition , does not work though.
Can anyone tell me how to disable the imobiliser or remove /bypass to get back to normal .
Quite happy not to have it deactivated or bypassd as it is unlikely that anyone is going to steal it at this stage of the game its just my veggie bus for everyday use.
I checked every post on w124 alarm/ imobiser posts to see if there was anything similar
Any advice greatly appriciated
Regards Rudolf
