weird electrics??

[redhand]

1993 Disco 200tdi,
factory fitted immobiliser
No aftermarket alarms immobilisers etc fitted
Bog Standard.

Will only drive when the hazard lights are switched on. If left for a while it will start occasionally. But will switch itself off as soon as you start to move or touch any switches etc. Also won't switch off if the hazards are on. even if you're stood outside the vehicle with the keys in your hand. I've removed the fuse for the hazards and this stops the indicators flashing but means if you drive it you've no indicators  Have disconnected all the wiring to the column switch pack and it doesn't make the slightest difference to the starting of the vehicle Once it dies you have to plug the connector with the hazard wiring in before it will restart. So I'm asuming it's the immobiliser and not the switch gear.

Anyone heard of this happening before and how did you cure it...

It's something to do with the imobilser and impacts, they are supposed to cut out after an accident. That's why they often acts up when off-roading.

I had roughly the same problem when i fixed the window lift ecu and dropped my screwdriver on the crash sensor underneath all i did to reset it was to push the bonnet  alarm plunger down with the ignition on in the glow plug warming postion and all was well again,i make that sound easy dont i,i took me two days to work that out :oops: :oops:
