Electronic Immobilizer

May 13, 2005 0 Replies

Hello all,



I have a V6 2000 Jetta and been having an issue lately with the electronic immobilizer.



When I turn on the car, sometimes the electronic immobilizer light goes on. Ofcourse, when this happens, my car will shutoff after a few seconds.



The manual doesnt give much information, just that I am using an unauthorized key. However, I've tried two different keys.



My dealer cleaned out the key chamber, but it is still doing it.



This problem comes and goes. Cant find a pattern to it. However, Ive noticed that if I dont turn the key all the way and wait to see if the light goes on, I am better off. Usually Ill turn the key off, wait a few seconds, and then its fine.



Any ideas? Can this be resolved? Or disabled?



Thanks



Brian
