Ignition Problem

[GTS308]

Hi all, ...Just bought a R33 GTST Auto RB25det ..I stared the car and drove it over my pit and turned it off..So I could give it a oil and filter change..Then when I went to start it as soon as you turn the key for the dash lights to come on, there is a click like a soleniod and all the dash lights go out.

and the car is dead and will not turn over....There is a little red light on the dash which I presume is for the immobilizer or alarm this is flashing all the time but when you turn the key to start and the dash goes out this light is a solid red with no flashing..............

Now the car only came with one key...No pad or alarm key...Dont know what brand alarm it is (No markings on it or the car)....I tried removing the power supply to the alarm but the little red light is still flashing..??? So I presume that isnt the problem...

I only bought the car for parts, mainly the engine but I wanted to run it with fresh oil ect to get a idea of oil preasure ect before pulling the engine out..

So any ideas please..........If its alarm related I will need advise on how to remove or bypass as the unit is now beyond repair...anger issues...lol

If its a immobilizer issue....Can this be reset without a pad....Oh yea the key does not fit the door either....

Is there more to the alarm than just the round bit under the bonnet? Thats what power supply I disconnected...I did find a Autowatch sticker under the seat..when I when for second look

So did I just remove power from the siren part and not the alarm itself?

On the unit under the bonnet there was a sticker for the wiring as follows.................

RED + 12 volts

BLACK...Ground

WHITE...Trigger

ORANGE..Trigger

PINK...Alarm Bonnet Switch Trigger

SINGLE BLACK>>>>>Bonnet Switch

sounds like you simply got rid of the siren and not the alarm/immobiliser itself. might be worth calling the previous owner and asking them about it.
