stranded - Immobiliser?

hi guys

went shopping today and when i returning i cant get it to start. on the first attempt it tuned over for a couple seconds but then cut off, but now all i get is the battery light on the dash, not even the glow plug coil symbol pops up and so the defenders currently stuck in a car park and has been for the last few hours.

i have read up on a few posts on here and tried unplugging the battery but still nothing at all when turning the key

i have tried jump starting it just to eliminate this from the list but no luck.

anyone got anything i can try to try get it going again? currently on the phone to the aa but not sure they will get anywhere

thanks

Simple things first and you have probably checked already that the earth lead is tight on the battery?

yeah completely un-attached and re-attached the battery still no luck! i read somewhere about some 'code' that needs to be entered to disable to the immobiliser through some sequence with the key but not sure if that was a thing or someone taking the P*ss

Then remove and replace the relays under the drivers seat in turn. They should be a good tight fit

I might be wrong but don’t you have to leave the battery off for 30 mins to reset everything? I’m sure someone will be along soon to tell me I’m wrong

If you have your drivers pack with you you may have the method and unlock code in it.

S.H.M.B.O. had this problem a couple of years and some on here suggested that she get out , lock the vehicle wait 2 minutes the unlock and try and start it . That worked and still does , if I remember correctly its down to the immobiliser and key fob. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to

us off.
