Question type: Maintenance & Repair

How do I bypass the security features to get the vehicle to start from
starter silinoid it cranks but no start

1 Answer

825

there should be a connector that plugs in up under dash . it runs from the ignition to a lil connector that plugs in to e.c.u harness. that lil switch were it connects comes apart, BE CAREFULL IT HAS SPRINGS in it. but once apart you will see were u can turn it with a screw driver and it will start as long as the key is in cose proximity to ignition. you may be able to start it from starter as long as key is by ignition when you try. i assume your key is chipped. it does not need to be in ignition to work only within close range of it. either that or you can try and bypass the imobilzer on the vehicle. im not able to tell you exactly how to do that on your car though, sorry. just do some research. but im fairly confident as long as key is close to ignition it will start from either the starter or from the switch its self. hope this helps.
