honda immobiliser problem - Mikey Jay
My 1990 Honda Prelude has an immobiliser which I think was fitted by Honda as an optional extra. You push a chip which is on your key ring into a socket on the dash. The chip has three diagonal contacts and these touch their corresponding contacts on the dash. The problem is that the contacts are wearing down and what will happen is that I will have to press harder and harder to make contact. Has anyone had any experience of these? I believe the immob. is wired into the ignition,alternator and fuel pump. How difficult is it to overide the immob? It looks as if you can renew the immob. socket if only they made the spares still. I saw a similar arrangement on a VW Golf. Cheers.Any help appreciated. Mike
