peasey:
while fixing my non working rear windows today (i was removing the window ecu to solder that dry joint)i dropped my screwdriver on a smaller rectangular box underneath it now the indicators wont stop flashing and the central locking wont work on the key or the fob.can anyone tell me what the hell have i done?or at least how to return things to how the should be.i knew i should have given my motor a wide birth today and left things to a more suitable date.im really hacked off that i have [!Expletive Deleted!] it up cos it was working perfectly untill i touched it.oh and its not my v8 gas guzzler any more its now my new,well to me anyway,  94 300 tdi please help me!

you have knocked / dislodged you Imobiliser spider, i dont know what the fix is i assume it is a disconnect and reconnect job but some one will be allong to tell you in a bit

peasey:
i forgot to mention in my first post that i have no trouble in starting the car its just the hazards and the central locking the only info i can find on the spider is that its located in the middle of the dash underneath everything. the place i was working was under/ behind the glovebox are they linked in some way?i just dont want to start ripping the dash out if it can be avoided.oh and to stop them flashing i removed the 15 amp fuse on satalite 2 on the interia fuse box

Right im on a bit of a roll today and managed to sort loads of small bits and bobs including this problem,what i dropped my screwdriver on was the crash sensor,i tried the ignition on and off,no good,disconnected the battery no change,dismantled crash sensor checked it and replaced no change.so from then on i was at a loss until my 4 year old who was sitting on the wing watching dad trying to get himself out of some ever deepening brown stuff,leant down and pushed the bonnet alarm sensor and i had left the ignition on while i was back and forth and it stopped.so my son ben is available for all major fault finding at a very reasonable rate(usually a tube of smarties) to anyone who requires his services.To be honest its about time he helped for a change rather than wandering off with that all important bolt or spanner little [!Expletive Deleted!]!!!!

ben_haynes:
who wants the tube of smarties you or him??? :doh: :lol:  i have a range rover p38 that knocks at the rear is he any good with them???
