Hello to all this evening. As the title states it wont turn in the ignition.Before posting I have scoured the forum for similar issues.These are the train of events:
I only have one fob and therefore do not have the option presently to test another fob.
All doors / boot open and lock with the fob so batteries are fine=I know from forum this works independantly(eg you can take batteries out and still start the car with fob).
Insert the fob into ignition and there is no sound/buzz(this buzz lets you know the stearing unlocks and allows you to turn key).
If I press any of the three buttons on my fob whilst it is inserted the buzz sound will work 8/10 times and I can turn to position 1.
when I turn to position 2 all consumers work fine untill I turn to position 3 (start car) then fuel gauge/coolant gauge/speedometer / basically all the instrument clusters dont work. The lights work well headlights etc but no indicators.
When I turn car off the key wont turn again maybe turns 1/20 tries unless I follow the above procedure.
Tried Star which recognises a fob has been inserted into the grooves of the ignition but does not read from the fob eg will not release the stearing lock.
To go any further I need a fob anyway as no good to have just one so I will order one fob tomorrow for next day delivery and pick the manual silver part up later as it takes 5 days.Hopefully I can find someone to repair my current fob and replace fob cover as Ive read from forum that the transponder coil can break.My current fob is in a sorry state its cracked on two points and has a slight hole on the unlock pad.
I checked all fuses and some relaysto see if there was a broken fuse but all good .Problem now is when I follow above procedure It comes up with a malfunction no ESP see owners manual. Ive probably caused this.
I couldnt see anything on any forum regards why the Fob will turn following above procedure.
Action is get new fob if solves issue great if not put on star with new fob.
Thanks again for all the help on previous faults and apologies for War & Peace.
