- VX 2001
Hey all,
I have a 2001 VX which hasn’t been used for 6 months as I’ve been out the country. I’ve just come to start it and 2 problems 1. Car battery is flat, which is an easy fix, just jumpstart it… nope.
Problem 2. Key battery is also flat. I have a spare key from mister Minit that was never programmed to the car… I’d known original key was on its way out but stupidly never programmed it with the car and it was just sitting in a drawer.
Before I left for overseas I got the old key to work by heating it up with a hairdryer enough to remotely open the car and start the ignition. Now nothing.
I have no idea which issue to address first. Can I disconnect the immobiliser and jumpstart the car?
I used the original car key to open the car but when I put in the ignition nothing.
Any advice taken. Car is only worth $500 so don’t wanna spend a lot if I can help it but need transport asap.
