Hi,
I've got a 2011 6 2.2D Sport. Yesterday I tried to start it but as soon as I depressed the clutch the Start Button lit up red as did the key light on the dash and the car refused to start.
Tried spare key, tried replacing batteries in key fobs, tried the backup key in the ignition, etc, all to no avail. Can still lock / unlock without any issue.
AA arrived checked car battery, no issues, tried disconnecting the battery to try and reset to no avail, and then finally towed me back to Mazda garage. Mazda garage got it going with their computer / reset immobiliser, etc.
My parents picked the key up while I was at work so went to collect it. Foot on clutch and the Start Button and key light all lit up green! Great I thought until I tried to start it and it promptly turned red again, a colour it's now stubbornly remaining with the earlier green a distant memory.
It's still at a Mazda garage but they seem stumped beyond plugging computer in and resetting the immobiliser. Anyone come across this before or have any idea what could be triggering it?
Thanks,
Craig
