Hi Everyone,
I’m new to the forum and only 2 days into my Transit Connect ownership and so far it’s not going well!!!
Two days ago I bought from a neighbour a 2004 T200L Transit Connect (Tddi)……..the slow one………
He has owned it over 10 years and had no issue with it really.
I was reversing out of my drive when suddenly the car just died. I tried to restart it, initially nothing but with a couple of twists of the key it turned over. However, it wasn’t firing up. I noticed a flashing red light on the rev counter. After a bit of googling I found that it was the immobiliser light and after further googling found it was flashing a code 15 at me. This appears to be the immobiliser not recognising the key which seems odd given it has done ok for the last 18 years!!
I’m at a loss as to what to do. I have seen people mentioning the 30 min reset but I’m not sure if that is applicable to my van. I have disconnected the battery and put it on charge overnight before I try this procedure.
Does anyone have any idea of what else I could try or how I could get back up and running again. This was not the start to van ownership I was hoping for.
Thanks for any help.
