97 1.8 Immobilizer light does not flash - Tommk4
As in the title, the red immobilizer LED under the clock in my escort van does not flash as it should when the ignition is off.

I know the LED is working as it lights up solidly for a few seconds once the key is in the ignition.

What is this symptomatic of? I guess it means the immobilizer is not activated, is this the case? and if so, why?
