ok so i tried to start my car yesterday i unlocked it thus turning off the immobliser, as i tried to start the car the reds came on but as i turned the key to start everything went dead, the lights and my boost controler all still work but the car its self is dead and the alarm button doesn't unlock/lock the car.. I tried rermoving the battery still nothing so i left it and went out came home 5 hrs later the car unlocked and started..

Tried to use the car today same thing ive replaced the batterys in the key still nothing.. help any ideas would be great.

clean your terminals..

lights on no start?

lights on turn key and lights out nothing happens?

Ok i tried to start it today first go it started, i then removed the battery cleaned the terminals and tried to start again nothing.. By dead i meen no reds, no radio, when i turn the key to start it therse only a click in the passanger footwell and the headlights only go to parkers..

My boost controler will light up but as i try to start the car it goes dead aswell, the interia light works as does the beep when i put my key in..

When it started the first time my turbo timer counted down like i had turned off the car and then reset to zero all with the car still running..

most likely a dead cell in the battery or low current on it. or bad wire on the ground of battery, power fuse-able link wires on the positive side of battery

loose terminals ?

if the battery is older then a few years most likely shot. jap battery, most likely dead.

most likely only 9-10volts on it, or the current output is too low.

Thanks for all the help guys she starts i checked all the connections and the battery voltage all good then an old nrma mate of my dads told me to chase down the immboliser module and disconect it and she started first go..

My question now is if i drive the car with the module disconected will it damage any other electrical components on the car..

Thanks again for all the help it saved me a lot of money :laugh:

So just by disconnecting an Immobilizer the car can start?

Whats the Point of an Immob?

So if i just go to my car and disconnect the wires to my immob (autowatch) the car can start? :)

doesn't sound like much of an immobiliser ..

Ok so ive done some digging as to why the car would start with the immboliser disconnected........

In the 90's the laws came in that most cars need a immboliser so car companys hired alarm campanys to fit the cheapest nastiest units to their cars with most only just making the standards and most not making the aus standards, all immbolisers that comply to our standards are safe..

Thus the jap immboliser in my car being cheap and nasty is why my car started when disconected....

my immboliser now is a club lock and a dirty big chain from the steering wheel to the brake pedal :) until i get an aus standard immboliser fitted..

Hope that put your mind at ease..

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
