puffingbilly Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 So the key light came on today and the dam car wouldn’t start until I did the shorting of the pink wire at the module. It got me home....so far so good. Once home I tried to do the fuse pull fix as it looks pretty easy although fiddly. With the fuse box open, did the shorting of the pink wire and the car into ACC mode and pulled the fuse. Got a full house of lights and the auto stick moves but it still won’t start. Gave up, put the fuse back in and locked the car only to find it wouldn’t un lock , mild panic but the boot opened which released the doors. Reset it by shorting the pink wire and starting it, phew and now we’re are back to it won’t start but at least I can open and lock the doors. i deffo pulled fuse 4.... what am am I doing wrong? least it’s not my only car so not stranded. help!

parello9 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I think when its broke you cant do the fuse trick basically, as its to late speak to sly he has a box for £500 which fixes the issue and you can fit yourself in 10mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The fuse trick only works if you have a fully working car. Pulling the fuse retrospectively will have no effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffingbilly Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 I have driven the car after I did the Hotwire trick ( last time I did that was 20 years ago with a Datsun 110a!) so I am assuming the lock still disengages. i pulled the fuse in acc mode , is it worth trying with the motor running?

cs2000 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It wont work. You need to pull the fuse Before the steering lock is engaged, when the car is fully working. If yours has gone faulty like they can do, its failed in the "locked" mode so pulling the fuse now has no effect. 2 Choices are the warranty replacement (if youre still covered and the recall is still valid) or the box from Sly.

puffingbilly Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Just as an update and this might help others..... Found some useful guides and data on the US forum about which revision lock to buy. D or E as the c which I have is the most troublesome used 1st choice spares and located two at circa £200 a go. however I was not convinced I needed a lock as the car would drive after hot wiring it to start. all the advice was to pull the fuse in ACC so I took it one step further and pulled the fuse with the car running and jobs done....it’s running on the button. will keep the paper clip and wire with the two croc clips in the glove box though!
