BF2THRASH New Member 22 Member For: 12y 9m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 29/01/14 11:02 AM Share Posted 29/01/14 11:02 AM Hi Guys,Had the ignition switch rear contact plate come off the other day, managed to get it home using tape to "hot wire" the contacts in the ON position.Had no wipers, fan or windows on a rainy night! YAY! Did get lights and indicators though.I have since re assembled the switch using all of the parts including the ball bearings using Vaseline to hold them in place.All the movement functions of the key are as normal but it now has NO power apart from the Radio unit, courtesy lights and the keyless entry. Nothing happens when using the ignition.Alarm light still flashes upon entry and when locked.The audio unit comes up with CODE on the face when the power button is cycled.I have checked all the fuses and replaced the blown 20 Amp fuse mentioned in other posts and checked all the fusible links.I have tried to reset the ECU by connecting the + and - battery terminals while disconnected to discharge the caps but still nothing.Is there any sort of ECU lock out for security after playing with the switch or have I missed something?Any help or guidance would be really appreciated.(The Mrs is really hating on our other ride)Thanks!
