few days ago i left the ignition on all night in fact it must have been on for over 24 hours :roll:
when i realised went out to the car no dash lights on dead as a dodo.
recharged the battery and it started as normal,
turned it off to finish putting the other bits back together.
went to restart it and it just cuts out starts for a moment and then dies.
there's only a partial display showing on the mileage read out and computer display to.

If you have a spare key try it,there is a fault with the immobilizer but it sounds like something has happened with the dash insert

Sounds like immobiliser has lost synch with key. Disconnect battery and try again. If no joy, you will probably need a code read.

ive left the battery disconnected for the last hour just gone out and tried the spare key and it started as normal.
tried the old key i normally use and its started as normal with that to.

taken the car for a run not been used for a few weeks, but now the air bag light is saying on and the radio is only working on one channel no control over the changer or scan button?

**martin1810** · 24-01-2010,08:44 PM

Air bag is a "hard" fault which won't erase without a code reset. Did you disturb any wires.

**minty0_10** · 24-01-2010,08:48 PM

thinking about it the only think i have done is tried to get under the carpet under the passenger seat to dry it out.

apart from that ive removed the rear seat lower and battery.

The airbag control light (fault) will probably have been activated by a low battery

**minty0_10** · 24-01-2010,09:57 PM

ok thanks, any idea,s on the radio/cd player?

Whoa ! what was that about drying out passenger carpet, where did that come from ?

I guess you have read about pollen filter blockage -> water ingress in passenger footwell -> water damage to CCU -> = electrical faults ?

I did have a problem with my fuel pump relay # 372 (p/n 4D0 951 253) which caused my engine to start then die. Once replaced it worked fine.
