keys for 53 plate almera

[Churchy]

Hello one of my keys doesn't start the car. It has a flashing red key with a lock symbol on the dash. It turns over just doesn't start. I am wondering if it's something to do with the immobiliser? How do I get around this or fix it. Thanks kindly.

Anybody?

Use the key that works?

Does the key operate the central locking? if so,i would say replace the battery in the duff key.

Its not coded to the immobiliser. You would have to swap in the chip part out of the other key.

Or tape the chip to the ignition. Barrel, not that I'm condoning that or anything

ok thanks for your help. I personally think I have a wiring fault as the immobiliser works now and again on different keys at different times with different keys. If one key worked all the time I would use that ill look into it more.

You said that one of your keys didn't start the car.
Wasn't there an immobiliser wiring loom fault on the n16?

sorry I should of been more clear it appears that any of my 3 keys have an intermittent immobiliser fault when it feels like it. there doesn't seem to be anything constant at the moment.
What does the wiring loom fault consist of thanks all?????
