Have you checked the earth strap? have you got ignition lights?

[rednova]

yeah everythings working just nothing when i turn the key no clicking or weak crank which is making me think immobiliser prob or something

[Donova]

starter or solenoid? don't know much about alarms,sorry.

[rednova]

well theres no clicking to indicate the solenoid is getting power or sticking, ah i guess i'll just ring the alarm blokey, free of charge if it is the alarm lol

[Adam]

Sounds to me that the alarm has the starter solenoid feed immobilised.

[rednova]

yeah - i'll have a look see if i can see any loose wires before i get the bloke out

cheers all

[Adam]

Turn the immobiliser off? Lol

[Rx Jamie]

solenoid is stuck. tap it with a hammer. if not get a new starter

[Adam]

Ye, that could be the problem too/\
Never thought of that.

[rednova]

dont the solenoids usually click when theyre stuck?, the immobiliser is part of the alarm but the alarm function seems to be working ok

[Adam]

When the solenoid clicks that means its working fine and moving into position.

If it doesn't click, the solenoid is faulty/jammed.
