Hey folks,
Earlier this year I posted about a glow plug issue, whereby intermittently after turning the key the car would not start, and I noticed the glow plug indicator was not lighting up.
Recently the problem has gotten worse, and it's not intermittent anymore... the car will hardly ever start.
I had taken a punt on the glow plug relay being broken/sticky, but after replacing it the problem persisted.
Then I realised that it's not a glow plug issue, on the dash the green key flashes, indicating that the car cannot recognise the key and therefore won't allow the car to start. I reviewed my video of the dashboard from earlier in the year (when I thought it was a glow plug issue) and the same key indicator was flashing then too.
What's weird is this was at least one point, intermittent, so I don't think the car/key combination has been completely forgotten, it's just struggling to confirm the key.
Has anyone got any thoughts on diagnosing or a fix?
