Morning all
Jumped in my 500 this morning and first time ever it wouldnt start !
Turns over but doesnt fire - petrol is there wink
Had a new battery couple weeks ago but thats all ive done recently

Found a little switch under the passenger side dash board - ive had the car 3 years and didnt know it was there !
I think this has something todo with the immobiliser as when i press it with ignition on windows go up !

But it still dont start frown
Anyone have this little switch ? Someone mentioned to me at work that you can reset some alarms by pulling the main fuse ? And this could fix it ?

Sunny day and Trevor isnt out !
Thanks for any advice !

Have you tried taking the lead of the battery for 30 seconds and then reconnecting press the blipper and see if it resets the system.Just a thought.

If the fuel pumps going and it's turning over next to check is the spark.

Have a look around the king ht lead and make sure all the connectors it do with the ignition system are seated properly.
