azeem Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 R reg V6 galaxy not starting, just using key to lock/unlock without remote. Intermittent problem last couple of weeks where it seems to be a immobliser problem in that when i unlock the car and try starting... nothing, sometimes the dials go anticlockwise. Have to get out lock, unlock and start again, more often it takes a couple of times before it starts, have to reset radio when dials go anticlock wise. Last two days its decided not to start at all. Usual dashboard lights come on but the car won't start at all, dials not even going anticlock wise as normal. Tried using the red key to start but again nothing. The night before i moved the car a couple of yards without any problems. Any ideas, Thanks. Quote
gregers Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 you havnt got a swimingpool under your passenger seat have you? Quote
mumble_bee Posted July 1, 2007 Report Posted July 1, 2007 i had this on my v6 auto where it would sometimes not start.. however I think it was something to do with the gearbox, cause when I pressed the brake down and turned the ignition it would fire up.. weird thing was I had to hold the key in the fire it up position about half a second before it would start... before i figured out it was brake/gearbox related I sometimes took the key out and put it back in to start it.. good luck azeem Quote
azeem Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Posted July 1, 2007 no swimming pool and tried putting my foot on the brake whilst trying to start it, so i don't think its a gearbox problem. Quote
Guest wolfie Posted July 1, 2007 Report Posted July 1, 2007 More details needed? auto, manual etc.... and have you you tried charging the battery? if the needles on the dials flip backwards and the radio looses it's code it sounds like you have a power loss problem? Quote
azeem Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Posted July 2, 2007 Its Automatic, New Battery, even tried charging it incase. No sign of power loss as all lights internal and external working normally, just wont click when trying to start. V6 doesn't have a Relay 30!!!, looking more like a immobiliser problem. Having to take it to a main dealer unfortunately, not looking forward to the bill!!! Quote
matt1003 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Posted July 2, 2007 try putting your foot on the brake turning the key to position 3 and holding it there whilst pushing button on the gearstick and just slowly moving it down or try starting it neutral positionthere is an isolator swith on the gearstick to stop you starting itunless its in park or neutral and can be adjusted but ford just tell youto replace them ? when you turn the ignigtion on you should here it click by the gearstick ?matt Quote
