Hi all,
Yet another problem with keycard or reader.
I have a 2002 Lag 1.9dci and its been running fantastic for the last few months (somehow!) but the last few days the when I insert the keycard I sometimes have had to take it out and reinsert it a few times to get it to recognise the card and start the car.
Yesterday it just refused to recognise it at all and I just had the red flashing light on the dashboard and wouldn't lock into the reader.
The keycard has been repaired by the keycardrepair about 2 years ago and has worked like a dream ever since (Thanks to Gary - super fast turnaround and excellent job!). Card still opens and closes the car no problem.
I have opened the reader and one of the small tabs that closes onto the microswitches has broken off. Bit of jiggery-pokery and I managed to rig a piece of plastic across the microswitch to ensure that it activates. Back into the car and yep it turns on the electrics ok (radio came on straight away and irony strikes - Gary Numan singing "Here in my car I feel safest of all.....":steam:)
Put the card in and it locks in place but still getting the red flashing light on the dash.
I'm in Warrington and have been round all of the scrap yards this morning looking for a card reader to try but the only 1 I could find was a brown connector block and mine is blue :(
Got a lot of miles to do this week with work and need to be out on the road at 5 in the morning for a meeting at 8, hence the desparation!
Long shot but is there anyone localish who could try swapping the reader to see if that works or is there anyone local that might have a diagnostic to see if it shows up the problem?
If I can't get it sorted it's going to the great scrapyard in the sky as the car is a pure workhorse and not worth spending main steeler prices for anything.
Thanks in advance guys, you have helped before and you really are the best!
