Problem following attempted theft

So the other night my defender was broken into and the ignition switch destroyed in an attempted theft. Fortunately they were unsuccessful! However following the break in the fob did not work at all. I have replaced the door lock and a new ignition switch however the fob still doesn’t work and the car is stuck immobilised. I have tried the EKA process which did not work and I’ve also tried the remote battery replacement procedure but without success, does anyone know how to get over this issue?

What age/model do you have? Assume you have the factory alarm system still?

If so, i would advise looking at the wiring diagram for all of the fuses associated with the alarm and confirming they are not blown.

Did they remove/tamper with anything else? 02' 110 TD5 Double Cab Rebuild Thread

It’s a 2011 2.4 Puma with the factory alarm and immobiliser. I’ve checked all fuses and they’re all ok. Nothing else seems to have been tampered with.

On mine they cut the main battery wire which runs under the car from the battery footwell to the driver's footwell. Cheers Don.

Sometimes if you pull the battery when alarming or tamper with them it’ll lock the 10AS box, unfortunately it can be a new alarm ecu and programming.
