1997 Chrysler Neon LX Auto

If what you are saying is a Chrysler key missing all you need to do is have a dealer cut you a gray key and program it using the secret code, The dealer can do all that for you, If its the remote you are missing you don't need that to start the engine.

If its an after market thing...... cant help you there.

No, Glenn. What he has is an export system called immobilizer which was never sold in the states. There is no easy or cheap way to bypass the system. Is the only thing you are missing is the fob? If so, you can buy a new fob and have it programmed. If I remember correctly you had to provide the serial number on the module to get a fob. What is it that you are trying to buy for 250 pounds? I used to teach this system internationally but it has been 8 years since then and all my old books on the system are in storage.

Never heard of that, learn something every day..... Is this Bill S. ?

Yes.

You still turning wrenches?

No, I've been teaching for Volvo Penta for 2 years now. I don't come to this newsgroup too often. I'm usually too busy and newsgroups can get real ugly at times as with the exchange between you and aarcudawhatever recently. Plus it is sometimes amazing what people will tell other people to do their cars. Most of it is fair to pretty good, but some suggestions are way out there.

I have to agree with you 100% on that. Speaking of telling people what to do to there cars, you would be amazed of the what the instructors teach us at the training center now. I went to a suspension class 2 weeks ago and it was a carnival there. Hey do you ever talk to Church?

No I haven't since I left New Orleans in 10-02. I saw him in Detroit just before I came home. What do you mean it was a carnival?

Reading your post, noting that you?ve used £ instead of $ I?m taking it that you?re British with an? ?R? registered Neon. Now guessing you?ve trouble with the May & Scofield remote keyless immobiliser system installed to UK vehicles. How am I doing so far ?

Sorry no way round the immobiliser, reason it costs =A3250 is that the factory fit system & compents are no longer avaible. We have to fit a complete new system. Unless you can find a dealer who still has a fob instock (Part number 56009113). This can be programed in as long as you still have a working fob

Sorry to disagree with your post regarding disconnection of a Neon immobiliser system. It is possible to do. My local Chrysler dealership has me out to do at least one a week

Incar-1, is it possible I can put a hidden switch somewhere that will bypass the immobiliser in the event it does fail? I'd like to keep the immobiliser if possible, but the risk of not being able to start the car sometime isn't worth it.

Off subject, anyone know how to remove the flasher unit from a RHD Neon?

Allan, There?s a lil? more to it than simply installing a simple two pole switch to act as an emergency override ( but not impossible ). If by any chance you?re in the north of England I may be able to help.

The combination flasher unit is located at the rear of the interior fuse box. It can be accessed by removing the drivers knee blocker. The panel to the right of this can also be removed in a few minutes if further access is required. If you?ve problems with the Neons indicators it?s more common that the problem lays with the stalk rather than the relay.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help!

I thought it wouldn't be that simple, but would be a nice 'fix' - wouldn't have to worry about getting stuck. I'm in Doncaster, South Yorks. If you know how to do it - or something better - I'm all ears - if you want to get in touch off-list, email is allan(at)euerby(dot)plus(dot)com.

I found the flasher relay, unplugged it but couldn't get it out. Thought there might be a way to avoid removing panels, not realising this was a 5-minute job. There isn't a problem with the indicators, just that I will be building some LED ones, which will need a different flasher unit - not a problem, I've made a few.

Busy with the head gasket at the moment...

Allan.

Try

I don't want to get rid of the remote, just have an overide in case the RKE fails when I'm in the middle of no-where on a dark rainy night! Allan.
