So my girlfriends car has well and truly thrown us a curve ball. Now the starter motor has been giving it a squeak when starting over the last couple of months, buts it's still started everytime and other than that it's been fine.
The missus goes out to start it and nothing, not clicking no nothing, there's power to windows and radio etc, but the immobiliser light is on and won't come off.
Someone came with a diagnostics and said that some parts were showing up, but the main ecu/body control unit would not show up, he said he has seen this before and the Ecus have failed, even to check it and repair it if it can be repaired would be over a week and £250 probably.
Having the information we did I though I would get the whole ecu kit from Ebay, keys, locks, ignition ring, ecu and body control unit. He changed that today but still exactly the same out come and same reading. Surely can't be starter motor? Battery is healthy too. I'm really stuck, could it be as simple as a earth? Gear box earth. Or am I hunting for wires and the loom etc? Obviously there has to be a line on how much is spent to find this fault so any help would be so appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
