Hi All. Would really appreciate anyone’s time to help on this.
I’m in the process of doing some works to my mk5b 94 escort cabriolet.
Most things are going to plan, however.
I changed all the door key barrels, fuel cap and ignition barrel. All went well and I taped the old key to the immobiliser pats ring at the ignition. (I assume that was the right bit anyways?)
I’d arranged for an auto key guy that I use to come and reprogram the pats but was gonna have a wee wait. No great issue as the car was starting.
So I got busy taking out the dash cluster to Refurb it and replace some non working bulbs. Also was looking for a parasitic draw on the battery. So a couple of times I’d disconnected the battery to charge it/turn the car over. All of this whilst the dash was out. It turned over and fired a few days ago, then immediately after (10mins later) wouldn’t turn over never mind fire.
It’s all back together, I can hear something powering up in the engine compartment and dash lights all come on. Now comes the moment I almost wish I hadn’t touched it!
anyone got any ideas or pointers where to start?
cheers
