Is it one of those systems where it gets wiped on battery removal or if dead then? I thought it would work okay as long as the fob was sync'd a couple of times. Not a fob battery issue is it? Assuming it is a fob type as well. I know some use the keyfob as a proximaty device for the immobiliser so if the cell battery is low the range drops off.

Is it the standard Peugeot immobiliser or an aftermarket unit?

Can you not shut it off with the key in the engine bay? Or does that just control the alarm?

If it does control the immobiliser you may need to put the key in and turn it off and then back on so it reads the code on the key.

It's a standard bit of kit on the 306 in the phase 1 era. You have to enter a code to disable the immobiliser before you can start the car.

My best guess would be that it's been factory reset to the original code, check the owners hand book to see if it's in there then change the code back. I'm not sure on the procedure myself as I've not had the pleasure of owning a 306 with the keypad immobiliser. However if it is still causing you greef then post back and I'll do some more research or I can advise you on how to bypass the immobiliser on your car

Is it tied in with the alarm Jarrus?

 

[jarrus]

try keying in 1111 instead of your normal code when you start the car, apparantly that's the factory code. Also there are a number of connectors in the vasinity of the battery which can be easily disturbed.

Is it tied in with the alarm Jarrus?

Yes and no, some of them yes some of them no, I can't be more specific, Pegueot changed the alarm system during the 306's life time and I'm not sure when. From the ones I have seen and worked on, it doesn't appear to be tied into the immobiliser as the code pad does the immobiliser and the alarm does the usual alarm stuff like making a big noise when someone enters the car without using the key.

Only phase 1's had the key pad, phase 2's and 3's were in the key.

Also at the OP, try checking the relays in the fusebox next to the battery, there is one for the immobiliser in there.

cheers for the replies guys, it was just the standard keypad unit, ended up gettin it workin after takin it all off and re wireing it, must have been a bad earth!! thinkin about takin the immobiliser completely off, just incase it happens again, although am not too sure if it will do any damage :/

It won't damage it by taking it out, I'd leave it in now you've got it working again.

Have you tuned up your car yet? How many miles is on it?
