We bought a used renault clio,which has this flashing red light light on its instrument panel?
Light keeps flashing all the while and I was told that is immobiliser by the previous owner(lady) who did mot know any more about that.Remote locking does not work and i have to manually open the door and start the engine.
Is these things supposed to behave so,or is there anything amiss??
The red light on the instruement panel should only flash when the engine is switched off. If it flashes when the ignition is turned on the system does not recognise the key or the key is faulty.
Depending on the age of the car, there is a receiver for the remote locking located in the trim by the interior light (usually on cars before 2000) it may have got wet, as the aerial bases have a habit of leaking water into the car.
Also the optical eye on the key had a habit of coming unsoldered from the circuit board in the key itself.
On cars after 2000 the button that operates the remote has a habit of coming off the circuit board in the key, this can be re-soldered on to the board.
Otherwise the key itself may just be faulty and requires replacing.
