Immobilizer problem

[dom14]

Hey Guys,

My RB30 Patrol after market immobilizer stopped working.
And it happened after disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it while the
ignition is on.
Did I kill it?
It sounds like bad news to me when the immobilizer can be easily bypassed that way.
Because I have no problems with starting the vehicle.
It goes like there's no immobilizer/alarm now!!!
And that should be a worry, should it not?!

What should I do? What are my options?

Thanx in advance for any help.

Hmmmm.......!!!
I'm pretty unpopular by the sound of it.
My ratings have dropped significantly.
Not many have even bothered to read the post.

Hi Dom - no your not unpopular, at least not with me, its just that I have no idea what you should do.

Yeah, hopefully I will get few more hits later.

I'm bit bothered with an alarm and immobilizer dying after battery disconnection, without killing the ability
to start the car. Pretty worrying.
I need some answers from an experienced bloke.

Sorry not much help but I'd be checking with the aftermarket immobiliser manufacturers. This may be something they know about.

Useless and dodgy immobilizer IMO. If it dies, it should die while disabling the engine start.

I didn't do anything. Just disconnected the stupid battery to swap the starter motor & charge the battery with the smart charger, something I've been doing for years.
Immobilizer solenoid is obviously stuck in on position. Not a good outcome, as far as security concerns.

I've already bought another aftermarket immobilizer and alarm ages ago. I've never bothered to fit it, 'cos the existing one has worked ok so far. I've never thought it could be this dodgy. It's a bit PITA to install them(I meant bit of time consuming for me).
Now, it looks like I don't have much of a choice.

The immobilizer and alarm started working again, on it's own.
It's a mystery!
A mystery that's being replaced with a new one.


P.S.
Hey, you blokes only posted few posts for me after I start whinging about not getting any hits.
