Has it been interfered with - any attempted thefts, has the ignition lock fallen apart, are you using a genuine key or a clone?

Check all the plugs are seated fully - especially those at the bottom of the column and in the kick panels. Lock the car with bonnet up, disconnect the battery and wait a while. Reconnect, unlock the car and try again.

Default Re: Ba falcon wont start

check ignition switch as mentioned
check interior light fuse
check ignition fuse under bonnet fuse box
does it have instrument warning lights (reds)-does it crank at all
try poring hot water on ecu wriggle connections at ecu
does fuel pump prime when key turned on (possible fault with engine relay and or fuel relay)
is it in park
does it have a fuel cut switch at top edge of left hand kick panel
try to supply more detail - is it cranking and not firing -6 or 8- sedan _ did it over heat. etc

So no crank. Just the odo comes up and yellow hand symbol on dash. No injector noise. Asked him to do some of above. He’s looking for other key. His dad May have it so I need to get that to him

Check:

a) He hasn't added a magnet or an electronic device to the key ring?
b) He not next to something transmitting a radio signal or electrical field or a magnetic field?
c) He doesn't have the other vehicle key fob or a fob from another vehicle somewhere close without realising it (you cannot have two active fobs within the Smartshield antenna field at the same time)? I have seen people put on a coat etc they have not worn for a while and found they had an active "lost" key fob in one of its pockets.

Does the light ring around the key barrel go on? Is the remote fob battery good (put a new one in anyway)? Has he check all fuses? Especially BEM fuse.


In any event, what were the sequence of events leading up to the no start between when the vehicle last ran and he tried to start it again.

If key was dead car would start then stop after a short period.

Does the starter relay click?? Does the starter motor solenoid click.

Thanks all. Car don’t kick over at all. Told him to give starter motor a hit with hammer.

Car started OkY and he drove it 2km to the pub. Went to get back in and go - dead. He changed the battery recently but that’s it.

He only has key. There is no remote fob. And apparently spare key is at my joint somewhere.

He has only ‘Coon in town and it’s very much an RF free zone at Larrimah.

I’ve asked to listen for fuel pump priming. They left battery off it for 20 mins. He will head back to it first light.

Thanks guys - we need to try anything before a $$ tow to Katherine.
