MY FORD ESCORT 1.6 FINESSE 1997 HAS A FAULT WITH THE IMOBILISER SYSTEM. IVE NO STARTER AND NO FUEL PUMP WHEN THE IGN IS SWITCHED ON THE ALARM LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY. WHEN THE IGN IS OFF THE ALARM LIGHT FLASHES NORMAL EVEN IF DOOR IS OPEN.
THE CAR DOESNT HAVE THE PATS BOX UNDER THE DASH LIKE THE PRE 95 MODELS.
WE HAVE EVEN CHANGED THE ECU/CODE-READER AND IGN BARREL AND KEYS OFF A SIMILAR MODEL THAT RAN FINE BUT NO CHANGE IT STILL WONT FIRE AND THE ALARM LIGHT IS STILL GOING NUTS.
Disconnect the battery for 1 minute and try again -
---quick fix possible with that---
if that makes no difference then I would like to know exactly what model of alarm and immobiliser the car has - what is the maker + model no/serialno of the keyfob for the alarm, I can get the info I need off that.
also you can check the fuse in the alarm if you know where the alarm is situated, it will have a fuse either on an inline fulseholder on as a spade fuse stuck into its casing somewhere - replace the fuse if blown and try again to start the car
------------
tell me the model no of your alarm and immobiliser if no joy after battery/fuses and I can read up on them and see if I can fix your problem...

the escort doesnt have a seperate alarm/imobiliser its the ford built in system that is at fault.
we have also changed the fusebox as well as these are coded to the cars as well with no change either.
i can get the various numbers off the ecu and pats code-reader if thats any help.
ive had this problem befor but it was a pre95 escort with the seperate pats box we changed the reader/box/ecu and the car worked fine again .
this model doesnt have the box on the bulkhead obove the glovebox the loom goes straight from the code-reader to the ecu.all the dashboard has been removed to ensure that ford dint put the box elsewhere on the late model escort but there is nothing.
its got me stumped.
the haynes manuel only shows wiring diags for the alarm/imobiliser system for models up to 1995 after that there isnt any diags listed in the book.
any ideas thanks
