Take it out, wires shoudl pull off the back and take it inside and dry it all out, put it in airing cupboard etc and dab it with bog roll

Just lock the car up manually with the key for tonight

[Winston]

[jules-B]

[jules-B]

would do...but 2 things...

i need to drive tonight....and

if i do want to take it out....the 2 wires at the bac just pull off?

[Winston]

This is a PH3 tho ;)

Early ph2's have them still like L and M's ...Nreg is Ph3 style

Get it banged on the rad for an hour or 2 before you go out??

Other answer is get a ph1 RT ecu

[Lunner]

reg of my RSi was N880 ETP

[jules-B]

just had a look around the fusebox and cant see much that looks like ajey thing...or anywhere to put a key...just randomly unlocked when i press the button...
so could it be somthing else??

goin to get new batterys now and try that.,.

[Winston]

**** knows ....**** Reno ...**** everybody!!!!

[Winston]

That key turns the alarm off not the imob ...just remember'd ................my comments still stand :P

[richy]

my mk1 ph3 1.2(bug eye) doesn't use the crappy old style plip's to disarm the immob, it has the newer chip in the key, and a decoder ring on the key barrel, just put the key in and it detects the chip to authorise the immob to disarm

[Allan]

yup just take the whole thing off and dry it, used to happen to mine when the roof leeked

[VIPERONE]

take the ir sensor circuit board from your car, you will see 3 ir diodes, look underneath where the legs are soldered on...you should see blue/green corrosion, lightly remove it with a pin and reassemble unit.. it should then work.

[jules-B]

sorted it!!

all it needed was a good dry!


cheers for the help everyone:)

[Lunner]

Glad you got it all sorted :)
