I got this 16 code after jumping a flat battery. Replace the fuse, sorted. Great video👍

Got a problem on my fiesta like this. Did let me in to do diagnostics. But it may just be that fuse

[@zabzproject1416]

@@ryosuketakahashi4957 💯 look at the fuse first 👍 Hope it’s a small fix for you 👍

[@ryosuketakahashi4957]

@zabzproject1416 hopefully it is. I was dead worried about the PCM being fried. A fuse definitely seems much more reasonable than an entire module all cuz I tried to jump start it🤣

[@zabzproject1416]

@ def sounds like a fuse, these cars don’t go well with a jump start 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ryosuketakahashi4957]

@@zabzproject1416 for sure. I've been jump starting transits just fine and I've only just been told by tge master tech that these fiesta hate being jump started. Thanks for the video though! It should help me getting it back up and running

[@dazclayton]

What’s the OBD reader you’re using?? And does the immobiliser function bypass work through that app??🤔

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Watch out for buying non starters. Because you when you get it home and solve the start issues you'll find it's got a blown head gasket or a knock?

[@zabzproject1416]

Your 💯 right, it’s a huge risk buying non runners unless it’s from a well known source or extremely cheap 👍

I have a mk6 fiesta like this but a style 2006. Have same issue since I played about with he fuses to get my cigarette lighter working. I'm hopeful it's the same problem. Thanks for the video 😊

@@zabzproject1416 will find out tomorrow bud but has same symptoms your car had

[@hendoiii3487]

Unfortunately that wasn't the same issue. I'm thinking because it's been sitting off the road that the car battery has went too low for the immobilizer to bypass. Well I'm hoping that

[@AliHamad-bs8ds]

@@hendoiii3487did you find out the issue?? I also fixed the cigarette lighter with a new fuse and have the same issue now

[@hendoiii3487]

@@AliHamad-bs8ds no bud. Tried everything. Resoldered instrument cluster, cleaned engine ground points and checked all fuses. Battery is less than 10v though but already tried charging it. Could a dying battery cause immobiliser to not bypass?

Would that be the only possibility.and how do you check if a key transponder is broken and need to be replaced

[@RosieGeria]

Hi, I experienced the same thing. I tried turning on the engine and won't start and I figured it's my remote needed battery replacement. After replacing it the car engine finally started and drove a few minutes but I've noticed the "Key not detected" error and "Immobilizer malfunction service now" is still appearing in my dashboard with the warning sound. Can you please tell me what might be the issue?

[@zabzproject1416]

@@RosieGeria Hi, did you count how many times the sign flashes and count again after the pause ?

[@RosieGeria]

@zabzproject1416 I didn't count but it's like every 2-3minutes with the error sound. Other than that I noticed that the aircon blow is fluctuating when I try to set it in 4 bars. It never happened before and only today I've noticed it. What might be the problem?

[@zabzproject1416]

@ so the issue we had was a fuse blown, you could possibly check for any blown fuses.. if you could count how many time the immobiliser lights flashes and then wait for a phase and then count again.. that would indicate towards the problem 👍

[@RosieGeria]

@@zabzproject1416 How can I know if the fuse is blown? And can I know the fuse number I should look for? Also, is it still safe to drive to take to a mechanic and is the fluctuating aircon blow connected to the issue?

[@zabzproject1416]

@@RosieGeria once you counted the flashes I can have a look and see what fuse would possibly be blown, you can also get a fuse tester and see what fuse is blown.. if the car starts and drives then should be good to take to your local garage… what does the car currently do? The heater blower may need changing hence the noise

[@SonofChurchill]

15 code. RAC wouldn't come out as as car did have MOT. Car couldn't start for me to drive to garage for planed MOT.

[@renda1982]

Hi I have a 2007 FORD FIESTA GHIA 1388cc Petrol, 5DR Hatchback, Manual My ignition barrel will no longer allow the key to go to the click position that allows the driver to put the windows up and down and when I attempt to start the engine it fires up but then the immobiliser kicks in and cuts the engine dead. Mostly nothing happens at all. Some times it don't even turn over. Is this expensive to fix? Thanks

[@BaaarnnzBoyDiagnostics]

Great video mate I’ve had this issue many times

[@zabzproject1416]

Glad it helped Thanks

[@ChantellePyne]

All my fuses are fine I had a diagnostic test and it’s not picking anything up it’s just flashing when I turn on ignition

[@zabzproject1416]

Please read how many flashes and then it will take a second pause and then count again how many flashes? As this will indicate to a fault code. Thank you

@@ChantellePyne try to reset your immobiliser by these steps: lock the car, unlock the car, and allow the key to sit in the ignition at on position for at least 30 seconds to re-pair with the car. If it doesn’t work the first time try it again 👍

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Why does the rev counter not start when the engine does?

[@zabzproject1416]

Hi, the rev counter was slow catching up with the engine but eventually did work, I believe it must of been corroded soldering 😢

[@chris1777]

Do you to disconnected the battery if its just a fuse

[@zabzproject1416]

Yes always disconnect battery and then replace fuse / relay 👍

[@rebeccab9487]

I see your Fiesta keeps flashing the immobiliser sign after the fix when its turned off , so that's normal for a Ford ? (New Fiesta owner and i doubt if its normal when I step out lock the car and still see it flashing)

[@zabzproject1416]

Yes, that’s normal as it’s the immobiliser kicking in when the car is switched off. It should stop flashing once the car is started 👍

Thanks for the video! My fiesta just broke down and the same sign is flashing. But I have RAC called out tomorrow. Where can I get a new fuse from? And which size tool did you use to disengage the battery? Thank you!

Hi I’m glad that the video is helpful to you, it was a 10mm socket set which you should be able to get from Halfords, you can also get fuses from Halfords too.

[@snazye]

@@zabzproject1416 ahh thank you so much for a quick reply. I'll try and get to Halfords before the man comes. How did you test the fuses.. Just take each one out and check it if it's broken?

[@zabzproject1416]

@@snazye no worries we are glad we could be of help, you can get a fuse tester and test fuses via touching the tester to the metal bit of the fuse, if you don’t have a fuse tester then yes.. you will have to remove the fuse one by one and do a physical check etc.. Try and have a look at the fuse number I’ve mentioned on the video. Thank you for supporting our channel 👍

I have a message in my ford fiesta 2005-10-06 EAC FAIL

[@zabzproject1416]

@@saidkhouna7042 To be honest were not mechanic and can’t give you a pin point kind of information. But doing quick search the Electric accelerate fail could be simple as cleaning the the Throttle body but please make sure you disconnect the battery before cleaning by the Throttle body. But would be the simple and cheap way of checking EAC and if that doesn’t cure it need to get it checked from a garage and see if they can find fault. Hopefully someone reads your message who might have been through the fault and could give more light to this. Hope the info was helpful.
