Sometimes, but not always, you can turn off the anti-theft system by locking and unlocking the drivers door with the key. Usually this happens after a battery has gone dead, such as yours did, and the anti-theft is triggered accidentally by the loss of battery power to it. I usually remove the key from the ignition, shut all the doors, lock the drivers door with the key, then unlock it with the key, and then attempt to start the engine. Often the anti-theft will allow the engine to crank but won't let it start. You could have some other problems but I'd start by trying this first.

My 2003 Mercedes SLK230 Kompressor. once in a while, i'll go to start it, turn the key, all the dash lights work, but engine doesnt crank pls HELP!

Have you had the battery itself tested? Features like the lights and power windows do not use a lot of battery power. A starter motor will use at least 9 volts on a 12 volt battery. Batteries usually only last about 5 to 8 years before they start to fail, less if you have 'start-stop' fitted to your vehicle.

2008 Jeep Liberty

Possible solution - This happened to me and my battery was dead in my key fob and also I needed an ignition switch because a piece on it was broken which therefore wouldn't turn to start the engine.

2001 s10 will jump start. After it sits, I try to start it, it won't start, but the ignition keeps dinging after I turn it off and take the key out. I can jump start it and the dinging stops.

its sounds like a bad ignition switch-try to jiggle it and see if its stop after you have turned key off- also those dinging sounds are to warn you that you have left something on -usually headlights or maybe even your dome lights which would account for your battery dying

Won't start, could it be fob or engine?

Try not using the fob at all open the door with the key. And start the jeep if it works without issue then its the fob. If its still not working correctly remove the battery from the fob and try again(since if it was damaged could be sending the signal for the panic button) the next step is the key try your spare security key can become worn and cause issues with the antitheft system. After that it only leaves computer problems and those can get spendy

2004 Hyundai Elantra won't start, emergency flashers keep blinking, can't shut off, lights dim, can't jump start, clicking from under dash from relays. What could it be?

The 'Keyless Entry & Burglar Alarm System" is activated. You must 'Disarm' the system using the Keyless Entry Remove (Key Fob) to "Reset" the system. The reason the engine won't start is due to the burglar alarm - it has a "Starter Kill" circuit which is activated when the alarm is activated. The alarm must be DEactivated to DEactivate the 'Starter Kill' circuit.
Another way to start the engine is to get in the car, put the key in the ignition and turn it to 'ON" and wait 3 to 5 minutes until the emergency flashers stop/turn off. Afterward, you should be able to start the engine. NOTE: This does NOT reset the burglar alarm. It will go off again when you enter the vehicle without using the remote/key fob.

My ford galaxy will unlock using the key fob but the engine will not start. I assume it is an immobiliser problem. Is there a way to start the engine please.


  • The only way to try to start a car by bypassing the ignition is to pop the hood and jump start the starter (where the big red power feed wire is connected) to the positive terminal on the battery. If the vehicle is PATS security protected I don't think this will do any good because when a PATS key malfunctions the cars ECM shuts down and the car won't go anywhere until a functioning PATS key is inserted into the ignition.

Left lights on ,and ran down battery. When i try to jump start, alarm goes off,key fob wont work till battery charges tried putting key in ignition and turning key, tried locking and unlocking door. what...

Find the alarm and disconnect it, or locate the fuse to the alarm and remove it. Then you can charge the battery without all the noise. Once the battery is charged, hook the alarm up and disarm it with the remote.

Jaguar s/type wont start had flat battery now replaced x.reg 2000

Yes the key needs to be reprogramed to the car. Unfortunately that will have to be done by the dealer. Make sure that you have plenty of proof that you are the owner. They will reprogram it but you will not take posession of the car until you prove it is yours.
