Hello,

I am having trouble starting my Tuscan MK1. It does not do anything when turning the key. Alarm is off, lights in pod are on, , battery is full, all fuses under the steering wheel are ok. Seems the immobilizer somehow is not deactivated. Tried the spare key - no difference. I assume it is an electric issue. The batterie was almost empty when i put it on the charger some weeks ago. Anybody any idea what this could be?
Thanks
Dieter

When you push the button on the key fob, can you hear the petrol pump prime ?

Just had an identical problem - likewise after charging when battery had been left to get low. Red light was on (not flashing) on the immobiliser socket, but inserting the fob or pressing the remote buton did not activate the fuel pump.

Disconnecting the battery re-armed the circuit and got everything working again as normal.
