Hi all, after trawling the web and garage bills are escalating, I turn to you all for some guidance.
I tried to start the car one morning and the car turned over once then died. Later that day I called the AA out after doing various tests concluded that either there was a fuel pump problem or something more serious. I got the car to my local garage (non nissan dealer) and after not being able to find the fuel pump relay, they called in an auto electrican. The following is the conclusion.
Both keys unlock the car but fail to start it. The red immoblizer light in the dash stays on. The auto sparky says that its unusual for both keys to fail, normally one fails. The [garage and auto sparky] are suggesting taking to the local dealer to put on the analyser. After talking to local Nissan garage, they need to analyse for 1-2 hours £200 rough cost, then they might know the problem.
Trouble is, like everyone nowdays, I am broke and face the problem that the first garage bill is looking like £200-300 then another £200 for Nissan dealer. Arghhh.
So, has anyone had the problem of both keys loosing 'sync' with the NATS / immoblizer? How bad is this likely to be. The local garage says that if the ECM unit has gone, then we're talking some serious money, plus labour costs etc.
Thanks for your thoughts, whilst I have searched these forums, I found no mention of anyone having both key loosing sync with immobilzer. Thanks in Adv.
