I’m not sure… but if anyone has any ideas before I send the unit back to Specialized ECU repair to run another set of diagnostics, I’d like to try all possible remedies…

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, I had a damaged immobilizer and sent it, the ECU AND KEy to SPECIALIZED ECU repair. I cleaned all the ports/plugs/harnesses and installed the new immobilizer. Everything on the car is working except the power windows and it just won’t turn over. Just one click. I bypassed the clutch just in case… still same issue. I checked the fuses on driver side & all seem to be good to go. I have not replaced relays in the back trunk, but perhaps that’s the next thing to try? I have attached two photos- I am not sure if that relay fuse is blown & it also looks like one relay may be missing now? Idk One thing to note. I tried to start the car prior to the front seats being plugged back in, I think I read somewhere that could potentially screw something up? I’m not sure… but if anyone has any ideas before I send the unit back to Specialized ECU repair to run another set of diagnostics, I’d like to try all possible remedies… Car ran fine before the immobilizer got fried due to a leak in the parking deck during a rain storm when I had the top down. Thanks all! I am losing my mind over here! -Eric
