Ivaan Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Help!Recently, my battery went dead in a couple of days when left off of the charger. Li-ion battery knackered.I've had the scuttle off and found the source of the parasitic drain ( Indicators ) and have cured this.Fully charged, new battery installed, but now the Toad Immobiliser refuses to dis-arm. The red LED just blinks away, but the system doesn't seem to want to recognise the fob. Normally, the ignition light comes on, and the fuel pump primes.Because it's been off of the battery for a few days, could it have lost the codes? Would it have an internal battery keeping the memory alive?Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 21, 2018 Member Share Posted August 21, 2018 Just checked the archives:Are you sure that the problem isn't with the ignition switch or a battery switch or the inertia switch?The only documentation I know for Toads.There are a couple of reports of needing to replace Toad immobilisers that couldn't be reset.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivaan Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Thanks for the link Jonathon. I think the loom in my car is bespoke made for the BEC conversion, but the wording for the immobiliser instructions are word for word with the Toad one's I have.At the moment it appears to be the immobiliser rather than anything else, but I need to investigate further. I'll try dis-connecting and re-connecting the battery first. Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivaan Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Dis-connected / re-connected battery. No difference. Still won't dis-arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivaan Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 The headlight relay is getting hot even though the lights are off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john milner Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Have you tried resetting by pressing the arm button three or four times in quick succession and then disarming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 As a general point, there have been so many threads over time concerning immobiliser issues, I just remove the damn things, and so far no insurance company has batted an eyelid when I say I do not have one...doesn't help Ivann, just saying..
