Just got a reply from my electrical engineer son.....he says it is probably a bad ground that goes to the chassis somewhere. He says that these digital components are looking for an exact voltage or current and if the don't see it it just keeps trying until it is satisfied. He agreed that...

All good questions. I have a son who is an Electrical Engineer, I'll check with him. I also wonder what condition would burn the socket but not blow the fuse? The first fuse I pulled was the fuse from the factory 2001 vintage... Still intact but showing slight discoloration on one leg. I wish I...

So Gary, one more question comes to mind......what was the condition of the plug that you had to remove on the bottom side of the fuse box that supplied power to the bad fuse socket? And thanks again for showing the way....great job!

So you were able to unplug the harness on the bottom side of the fuse box? Do you remember how many plugs there were? I made it as far as getting the bottom cover loose but could not get enough slack to raise the fuse box enough to remove it. I'm going to get a mirror and have another look...

Congrats on the fix GFL. Did the old box reveal any apparent deficits that may have contributed to the immobilizer malfunction? If I have any more problems I would like to do the same as you. Do you have any advice about how to remove the fuse box?

I attempted to access the bottom of my 100 fuse box so that I could splice into the wires that fed the 20a fuse in question. My intent was to replace that socket with an inline 20a fuse. I removed all the bolts holding it down and was able to get the bottom cover loose but could not get enough...

Thanks, i am really interested in your solution. The bottom of that fuse box seems impossible to access. Thats where I hoped to splice into the wires feeding the 20 amp socket.

Update....i could not access the wires feeding that 20amp fuse so I'mgoing to have to settle with a new relay and just cleaning the contacts in the socket. A friend of mine who has a Mercury Marine repair station thought that maybe when I hit the buttons to lower the windows that the extra...

So today the immobiliser bug got me...2001 LC 235,000 miles. Changed the fuse to a new 25a...no change. The light on the center console still blinking, key in or out, still blinking and crank but no start. So I read where someone was sitting in his LC waiting for the wrecker listening to the...
