Lost 440 key/immobiliser issue
 

I’ve seen others here who had the same issue but i still can’t solve it.

I lost the key and remote for my 440, I have bought replacements but can’t disable the immobiliser to get the engine to start.

I have tried programming the remote but it doesn’t work, I think you need to unlock the door with an existing remote to do this.

I’ve also tried finding the immobiliser and disconnecting it as others suggested but it’s not under the glovebox lining or in the footwell.

I unplugged a few of the fuses connected to the immobiliser and the engine will now turn over when I turn the key, but it won’t start.

Someone else in another thread suggested connecting a wire across a relay in the glovebox to get it to start but I have no idea where this is without a photo.

If anyone has any ideas I’d be hugely grateful, its so frustrating knowing I’ve got a perfectly working car that won’t start cos of the immobiliser.

Thanks

I feel your pain....

Btw I have found a mechanic who says he can fix it if I give him the ECU to reprogram. But he refuses to come out to the car so I don't know if I trust him, don't really feel like throwing away any more money.
