Couldnt start vehicle [2007 stow n go] turn key and nothing. Was in public car park. Strange as had just popped t shop and all was good on leaving. Key dance, p1685, did the usual work around's [disconnect and foot on brake etc etc] nothing. Called AA [btw had both keys with me.....neither worked although alarms would set] He connected diagnostics with same result. He had an idea starter motor link. He jumped across and it started. He found a seperate lead/sensor leading back to dash, took it off, cleaned it and bingo started first time and each time since. Appears the lead is part of the skim system somehow [disabling]
Sat there waiting was for him to arrive contemplating/concerned about having to main dealer it and get new keys and re program. Saved by a great AA man and his assumption nothing wrong with keys and merely some dirty or non working link/sensor in the system.
