    Don't know if anyone is on boards at this time but not sure where to get help,i got Ford focus 99 wont start coz the immobilizer i think has come on and it wont turn with the key,there is also a red light on inside that wasnt there yesterday,am nearly certain its the immobilizer as the central locking isnt clicking like it usually does.

    Does anyone have any idea what i can do as i need to be somewhere very soon and have no other transport any ideas much appreciated.

    Did you do anything to the key recently ?

    Do you have a spare key someone could bring to you ?

    Try to change the battery in your key if you can. As far as I'm aware, the immobiliser will do a periodic check on the chip in the key to ensure that it's still in the ignition, to prevent hotwiring.

    Possible low battery?
