When you depress the key the red light only flicks on & off,should this stay on whilst the immobiliser is activated ?.If not could it be the battery or is their a problem with the immobilser.Worked fine yesterday !!!.
Thanks

I've had the same problem with my own car. I have a friend who works as a renault mechanic and he says that the immobiliser is not very well protected and water may have got into it, if this is not the case with your car then you may need to have your keys recoded.

My Clio Mk2 does the same, I have had an auto electrician out and his machine says it is the body computer which could have water in it, he also says its a renault job. I have been down to Renault numerous times now and they are absolutely useless! they are not willing to help they just want the money out of you. However i did notice that there are some wires near the windscreen fluid lid and they are not very well protected. The problem only seems to occur on my car when it rains or when i fill the fluid up. Still not found out what the probelm is due to renault keeping tight lipped about the problems ith their cars. I will post again if i heaqr anything more. But in the meantime I suggest you try checking fuses and components for corrosion or to see if they have blown. Try speaking to your renault dealer and possibly seek help from an auto electrician. Does your car have a sunroof by any chance?
