Hi Guys and Gals,

My Dads Megane Dashboard lights has gone out, not only this the vehicle wont start, the cars on a 1998 plate, he wired up his towbar some 2 months ago and has no probs until today, ALL fuses under steering wheel checked and ok. ALL Relays (only 4) in engine seem ok, ECU clicks when swapping Relays so that appears ok.

Anybody know of anything else that I can check or know whats wrong with it??

In Advance I thank you.:congrats:

HI m8.....

IF your REMOTE Keys DOES NOT working (and you unlocking your car with the "MECHANICAL" solution) THEN the IMMOBILIZER it's starting up!!! And that it's the reason that your car it's not STARTING UP!!!

So your problem it's that you need a NEW "Board ECU"!!!:evil::evil::evil:
The coast it's about 700? and UP!!!:hmmmm2:
Finally if you want to use a USED ECU forget it!!!!! (Only IF you "CRACK" the Immobilizer ECU!!!!!)

That's all.....:vroam:

if you have tried jump starting the car, and connected the jump leads while the ignition is on, you could have fried the ECU. best way to find out is to take into renault dealership.

The Batt is sound, everything works on the car, lights, radio, windows etc.... it's just the lights on the dashboard are not working. I cannot figure it for love nor money EEK
