VX SS
Hi All.

I have just purchased a VX SS that the previous owner ran into a pole. Wanted to check that it ran prior to going to far ahead. I have pulled out the radiator/trans cooler/ ac condensor and unplugged all associated wiring.

When i turn the car on it chimes and then the airbag light comes on. The car wont turn over at all.

Will the Airbag Module stop the car from starting?

Any ideas or tips would be appreciated.

Cheers guys

Did it start before you purchased the car?

It hasnt been started since the crash as the radiator supports etc were pushed back into the belts. Have cleared everything out of the way at this point.

Hi all.
Just poking around and noticed what i think is the oil pressure sensor at the back top of the motor is broken.

Will this stop it from running.

Also checked when i turn the car to reds i cant hear the fuel pump priming.
The immobiliser light stops flashing as soon as i unlock the car using keyless remote.

the sdm will disable the fuel pump after a serious accident as a safety feature
