These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Greetings. My '00 cab had water ingress, much to my surprise. Carpet under the driver seat got wet. I removed the seat and immobilizer. Cleaned the immobilizer board thoroughly with de-oxit and got it looking good as new replaced a blown fuse in the box.. Re-installed. Car will not crank. My scanner just shows P1571. I can't talk to the immobilizer. Any thoughts? Any reset procedure? Immobilizer light flashes on dash when I press the lock/unlock button on the dash. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

These guys are really good and will repair it for $875. Not cheap but better than the dealership. www.ecudoctors.com

Second that.... I have friends that have used them before....

POST 4Original post

If the fuse in the immobilizer box was blown, did you check the fuse in the fuse box? Think it is E1.

POST 5Original post

Don't forget to clean out the Cab drains. This is sometimes the source of the issue to begin with. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ur-drains.html Also, couldn't help but think of this: You Tube

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I called myself checking all the requisite fuses. Is the clogged drain in the driver's rear wheel well?
