Did a manual swap on my auto, replaced everything except the BCM, (at the time didn't realise it needed to be replaced.) and it did the same thing, just continued to crank. Went back to the wrecker i got my manual swap from, got the BCM, plugged it in. and Volia, all was good. Also, double check all earths are connected to the engine block, as this also caused dramas starting, 1 earth not torqued down and it wouldn't start. And, if the car starts randomly running rough and stalls out refusing to start, well check you error codes and i bet you one of your injector plugs is damaged. solder that up and shes all good. Alot of little things i've learnt working on my 05 VZ.
Thanks a lot for your advice however I’ve exhausted all avenues and it’s the ECU that needs replacing. Should be happening soon as I’ve gotten a donor vehicle just need a nice day. Thank you for your support….
Thank You for your kind words. I’m super happy to hear that someone has benefited from my video, that’s exactly what’s going to drive me to make more. Thanks again…
@@howtopete33 all good mate haha. I appreciate someone else who wants to try and save cars like these from the scrappy. I’ve started doing the same also in hopes of making it a side income. Keep it up and yeah look forward to seeing more soon
No. If your key battery dies unless you can unsolder the old battery and re solder a new one. You will need a new remote. You can get them from Bursons and program it yourself providing that your car was unlocked before your key stopped working. Part number for the programmer KF200 and new key KF205.

so the cars issue was the new ignition key fob wasnt linked to the modules in the end ?
No the ECU has failed and needs to be replaced. Thanks for your support…
Thanks for the advice, so just to confirm, if the key battery dies you can just replace the button housing? You don’t need to code the key?
