Hello,
Is there any flashing lights in the instrument cluster after the vehicle dies out?
When the engine was previously running were any warning lights on the dashboard?
No previous lights at all. The usual ones at startup like cold engine and such.
Sorry...am at work but thought I remember a flashing one on the about the 1:00 position.
Ok, well if there is an orange flashing lights on the dash that looks like a car with a key through it, you can try and use another key and check the immobilizer function of that key. If it doesnt work you will have to tow (if it still does not work) to the dealer to get the keys programmed. It would be very wise to have all the keys with you when this occurs.
You tried to start the car with another key or was it the same key that you were using when it would not start?
Any warning lights on the dash?
Your welcome for the help!
It might be cheaper to buy the key from the dealer since sometimes you dont know how authentic the key the person on ebay is selling you.
