Check the fuses and also if it has a immobiliser make sure its working

ok im gettin some fuses but it doesnt look like mine has a immobiliser, the thing is the ignition barrel no immobiliser hole at all. nd would the lights still come on if it had the immobiliser?

not all immobilisers are visible. Most are now plib activated with the alarm. On mine I can turn the lights on but thats it. No electrics will work unless I press the remote. A blown fuse that powers all the lighting and dash will mean nothing will work.

 

Ideally you need a multimeter to check at various points were power is.

hi i have a update, i was told their is no immobilizer from the previous owners and wen i put the terminals on the batterys nuffin happens still but i used 2 cables goin from the positive and negative terminal with the battery on, to the empty slot in the key hole shown in the pic and and the other wire to where the black and yellow wire bellow is and the engine started ticking over,

and also when i touch the cable on the empty slot above and wiv the black cable on the left the dash lights come on any ideas?
