Immobiliser or Starter motor problems

[PeowPeow]

hey not sure what the problem is but i try and start a GQ Patrol and its not turning over and looks like the immobiliser kicks in and nothing happens the lights on the dash go out to indicate that the immobilizer has turned on again

I tried to have the car jump started but that didn't change things, could the immobiliser be crook? its a rhino alarm

i can roll start it but not turn it over normally

any help would be great

cheers

Depends on how the immobiliser was wired in............ normally though it would be done in such a way as to prevent you from roll starting the car........lol..........but as its a rhino it may well have been a home job by someone who doesnt know any better.

Try tracing the wires to see where they go.

To be honest this sounds much more like a battery or connection problem to me.

Is it possible there is a poor earth connection or wither of the terminals are poorly connected?

However i wouldnt discount the rhino being the cause entirely.

Actually another possibility is that its a problem with the starter motor......... sometimes the contacts get stuck inside and a lightish hammer tap is all thats neeeded to fix the prob.........hwoever if this is the prob then its a warning that you prolly need to get a new one.
