So I was thinking another approach to the immobilizer issue would be to pull the wiring harness. At the moment, my 98 LX is not giving me the crank-no-start issue because I replaced the fuse but I don't know if it will come back. Currently waiting on a new fuse box in the mail.
But I opened up the radio panel and pulled the first plug on the left, closest to drivers side (see pic) The security light stopped flashing right away and this was without the key in the ignition. I figured if it disables the immobilizer, this could potentially be a permanent fix. The truck started right up after pulling the plug.
However, obviously, there are other wires in that harness. Does anyone have access to a wiring harness diagram for this plug?
If we can identify the correct wire for the immobilizer, we can just cut it, tape it off and potentially never have to worry about the immobilizer issue again.
This is my hypothesis.
Does anyone have the diagram?
Can anyone else test this and report their experience.
