Hi there, can’t thank you enough for this video. I went to pick my son at school in my 2012 Vauxhall Meriva. I couldn’t start my car and it came up with immobiliser warning light. I made two phone calls, one to my local garage who recommended to wait for 10 minutes and/or try spare key. Neither worked so they asked me to contact LockSmith, who told me if neither keys are working, I need to take it to main dealer. Being on verge of redundancy, this was the last expense I need. After browsing a number of websites, I came across your video. I followed your steps and it started in less than 2 minutes. For other viewers, I did get error code 59 after this fix but it cleared after rolling down/up both front windows in parallel. Once again, thank you so much. Have a great X-mas with your family and loved ones.

hi Have got this problem right now- all sounds good- but disconnect the cable from the negative terninal - then connect both wires for 15 secs to positive battery terminal? (neg still disconnected right?) - so you are making a circuit with cables and just the positive terminal. If you confirm will try it in the morning! Thanks

Thankyou so very much for this video. My parents are in their 80’s and my fathers car did this today. Left them both totally stranded. After he rang around to have it diagnosed /collected , and running through all the potential nightmare problems with immobilsers, he rang me for a number for a low loader to ‘take it in’ and I asked what for. He explained and I found you. All the mechanics he rang and the garage it was to be booked into had no advice for him other than ‘could be anything’ scenario. I watched your vid, rang him back and said I would be there within the hour ( 5mile bike ride!). I got the car fixed in the 15 seconds it took and cannot tell you how relieved everyone was. Just amazing. So I told my mum I would message you and express my sincere thanks on everyone’s behalf. So again , THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH. (Meriva 2012)

Hello Anton, I am a subscriber at your KZbin channel and I follow you ever since. I have this issue that no Opel Repair house (at least the Greek ones here) can come up with a solution. I have an Opel Astra J 2010 Turbo 140bhp 1.4 A14NET , and lately it gives me an indicator that my door (right or both right doors depending on the day) show are open and that keeps my cabin lights on which I manually turn them off so that I save my battery. 6 times in Opel service shops they tried to change my door locks (expensive repair) which once I did it and came up again the same issue I asked for refund and they accepted that it wasn’t the issue. It is something electronic. They used the TestBook and reset it and I was good to go for a month maybe less. Now again the same thing happened and once I took off the negative side of the battery and let it rest for a few mins it was gone. BUT again the same thing 3 days ago. Any help brother would be highly immensely appreciated!!

[@aaanton11]

This kind of issue is usually water ingress on to the small reed switch in the door lock assembly, usually after bad weather, another would be the loom, or connector plug from the door to the car on the hinge, a damaged wire or bad connection. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Eureka moment! Just avoided right now a huge Car dealership bill when my mechanic popped by and just did it in less than 5 mins! Thanks for the video! So cool! Does that happen sometimes (2013 Vauxhall Meriva SE)? I mean a common thing? Jee all these electronic crap things on these new cars!!! Had an Astral '92, ugly AF but the best car EVER!!

This is common on loads of models, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

I've just come across this video. We've had this happen three times in eighteen months on our 2011 Meriva-B SE. Neither the main or spare key are recognised until the reset is carried out as per the video. Inconvenient, but a cheap fix and carry a 10mm spanner for the purpose. I just wondered if anybody knows of a permanent fix? Although as it doesn't seem to be the keys, I guess that would involve throwing many £££s at it! Thanks very much for the video, keep them coming.

Thank you so much this video was a lifesaver. My 2012 Meriva SE wouldn’t start this morning. I was pulling my hair out then I found your video. Everything’s good so once again, thank you so much.

Great video mate! This helped me get my Vauxhall Meriva started yesterday while on holiday. lt wasn't starting due to that immobiliser thing. This was the first time my Meriva failed to start. Even the official Vauxhall manual was not any help. Thanks once again!

[@aaanton11]

Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

I have an intermittent problem, it cuts out and the yellow lock symbol is on but not flashing, then it starts as normal, will this procedure fix it? The code I got was 'p1629 immobiliser fuel enable signal not received'.

give it a try, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
