I have a piggy back plug/wire on the starter and can make it crank with that. It still will not fire that way either.

Update.

Plugged the new Nanocom in and had a play. Cleared faults in the auto and motor and something else I can not find again [bigsad].

Hit the key and it burst into life. Off and start a few more times and then let it idle for 5 minutes before a quick trip around the block. It seems a bit sluggish down low but this was only a test drive.

Pulled back into the shed and turned it off to do a bit of clean. 15 minutes later I went to put it away and the old issue was back. Cleared all the codes again with no luck.

So back to square 1, but with a bit more info this time.

For the problem described in the first post/title nanocom is useless, corroborate post 2 with 3 and you might have the answer so IMO you should rule out the ignition switch

Not sure what actually got it running as I have cleaned everything I could think of, new battery, cleared faults with the new Nanocom (which is great [thumbsupbig] ) and probably a few other things I cannot recall ATM.

I wound up not touching the XYZ switch for a couple of reasons. 1, the auto was rebuilt/replaced late last year and I thought (right or wrong) that the switch would have be setup correctly then and 2, a function in the Nanocom shows the state (open or closed) of the W, X, Y & Z switches and these all changed as I cycled through the gear positions. The indicators on the console and dash also changed.

Happy camper for now but time will tell I suppose. [bigsmile1]
