Chimaera Immobiliser not flashing and won't start

[Carl666smith]

Hi there,

Here's a little problemet I would like your thoughts on please.

I have not used my Chimaera for quite a few months and it was working perfectly the last time I tried it. However, not any more!

Symptoms are as follows:-

- Alarm and key fob are working, doors lock, siren sounds and hazard lights flash, as normal
- Central LED on dash flashes indicating alarm is armed
- Immobilser led on steering column is dead (no sign of life)
- When you turn key usual lights illuminate, but no pump priming, starter, etc..
- battery is new and fully charged (has been on a trickle charger since I used it last the car)

I have checked the following, based on the advice I have read in this forum:-

- Inertia switch is ok
- all fuses under passenger foot well are ok
- taken relays out and reinseted
- all electrics work (wipers, light, boot, doors, etc) ok
- RCU unplugged and reinserted
- battery disconnected for a number of hours, reconncted and key fob pressed at the same time to re-sync. alarm

I firmly believe the fact that the steering column LED is dead is the reason for my problem and this is immobilsing the engine somehow.

Thoughts are very welcome and much appreciated.

Thank you all in advance for your help

Carl
