Is200 Dead As A Dodo! Help Please X

[andyox]

Weve got an IS200 2001 and since the snow its has not started. We have taken the Battery off,charged the Battery, changed the 120amp fuse (which had blown), but still no response. All dash lights are on, but when you try and turn it over nothing happens APART from a clicking noise near where the starter relay is. There is also a small clicking on the drivers door too.

We have taken the starter relay out and bridged the terminals and then it turns over but doesnt start.

Also on the Temperature/Clock screen all it shows is the letter E.

Would be really grateful for any ideas!!! xx (Could this be an immobiliser issue)

Many thanks

OMFG!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!! There was a 20amp one Id missed! Now the car is working fine!!!!!!

One last question though, before all this happened the engine management light came on, and the TRC light flashes. Now car is working again its still showing. Code book suggests Timing Belt, any ideas?

Could be a coil pack more likely, you'll have to get the code read to know exactly

Hi, this morning my TRC light started to flash and then the engine light came on, don;t want to take it to a dealer and get stung, could mine be blown fuses?

Thanks

No prob not, you need to get the fault code read to find out what it is, any mechanic should have a code reader

Ok Thanks, I'll take it to garage tomorrow, would you advise driving it or getting it towed? (about 5 miles)

Just soundsa bit low powered and jumpy, no smoke or anything...
