Basically the vehicle will not start because the immobilizer is on, the key fob does not work, I tried the security code procedure that does not work either.Question what does reprogramming/or synchronization of the key fob entails also is the central locking unit a single part that can be changed and where is it located.

You know i tried once a old trick and it worked. If a bulb doesnt want to switch off remove the bulb.
Two ways of doing this.
1; remove battery negative and wait for about 5 min
2; Remove main fuse and wait 5 mins.
Either way it resets the computer in a odd way.
If still not working some immobilizers are situated under the right side front wall panel. Once youve found it remove the plug and remove the imob. Take it to your local dealer and have it checked out. This is where the next question arises. If the find the unit faulty needless to say you need to purchase a new one. If they dont find a problem, then you need to tow your vehicle to the shop and let them via the main computer reset the codes. Also let them checkout your key. sometimes this could be the culprit.

SOURCE: key fob for hyundai elantra not working

Please dont worry yourself so much the security locks needs to be reprogrammed to enable it work effectively. Same happens to other vehicles as well.

Consult Hyundai garage close to you or if you have it in your manual.

Good luck.

Batteries full turn the key on nothing at the key switch does the key fob need to be working with the battery inside of it

It's possible that the key fob battery needs to be working in order for the key switch to function properly, especially if your vehicle has an electronic security system. Some key fobs are designed to work in conjunction with the vehicle's immobilizer system, which prevents the engine from starting without the correct key fob being present. If the key fob battery is dead, it may prevent the immobilizer system from recognizing the key and allow the engine to start.

However, there may be other reasons why the key switch is not working, such as a faulty ignition switch, a blown fuse, or a dead starter motor. If you have already confirmed that the battery is fully charged, you may need to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair the problem.

2007 Lincoln MKZ won't start and diagnostic says security system disabled motor? What can I do? I bought new key fob as well.

Andrew this has nothing to do with PATS immobilizer ,this is for resetting the vehicles contents theft system.

If You need to reset the anti theft system in Your 2007 Lincoln MKZ it is a pretty easy to do it just takes a few minutes. You should be able to reset it without using any special tools as well. All You need to do is turn the vehicle from off to on 8 times quickly without starting it and then leave it in the on position. You will then watch the locks in the car automatically cycle to lock and unlock. After that press and hold any of the buttons on Your key fob for 20 seconds until You har a beep. After that You can turn the vehicle off then start it again. If You have multiple problems with Your anti-theft system there may be a body control module problem that needs to be addressed by Lincoln.

Where is the immobilizer location on a 2006 range Rover sport

The immobilizer stays active until you actually try to start. To start (and turn the immobilizer off) the key needs to be in the ignition, the code in the fob read by the security system and the ignition switched to start - this is when the immobilzer LED goes off.

If the car was unlocked and had the correct key the car would still not start unless the key was attached to the correct fob.

2000Jeep grand Cherokee wj immobilizer

Generally, I warn against bypassing immobilizers. You need the key fob for the doors though. The door fob is part of the security system.

2003 Jeep Liberty Sport. Replacement key but no key fob. How to bypass?

You can't bypass alarms and immobilizers. They are there specifically to stop what you are trying to do. You have to fix the problem, not find a way to beat it. You need a transponder in the key (a chip) and you need that key reprogrammed. You need the fob.

To reset the Jeep Liberty alarm, press the control door-lock button on the keyless entry fob. Open the side door of the cab. Leave all doors closed for around 16 seconds before the Vehicle Security Light on the instrument cluster starts blinking quickly.

2005 GMC Envoy XL Doesn’t start when cranking. No sound of engine attempting to start. Just complete silence when turning key to the crank position. Changed ignition switch and engine compartment...

Plugging it into a diagnostic system or an OBD2 scanner could give you trouble codes as clues as to what's wrong. This will cost you for this service so shop around as price can be very different from company to company.. There are good mobile auto electricians out there who can come to you.
Most modern vehicles have a built in immobilizer system. The ignition key and switch are part of it. Each ignition is coded to only that vehicle. By changing the switch you might have triggered this system and making it think that the vehicle has been stolen. If you have triggered the immobilizer and need to re-code the ignition you might have to go to a dealership to get it done.
