Urgent help needed please car stuck in orange

hey people, ive got a problem with checking the error codes on a vt, i know how to do it bridge 5 and 6 so i did it and it came up with 83 but there is no code 83 so i went to check it again and now it wont work at all, no lights flash or anything... ive tried bridging other ways and unhooking the battery to reset it, even tried going into the wires themselves behind the plug but nothing seems to work. any ideas? anything at all would be mad, cheers

wats even happening the car wont start?

if uve reset the ECU the fault would have been cleared so u may only get code 12 until it logs the fault again so r u able 2 drive the car or not?

thanks for the reply, nah mate the car starts then cuts out almost instantly... but i cant even get a code to come up now, for some reason when i bridge it with a paper clip to run the diagnostics nothing happens at all. any ideas on why that might be or what i could do about it?

yeah that was happening... the column was replaced in it with one out of another vt so it has a different ignition and key in it now, would that affect the immobiliser that was already in the car?

Yes, the key has to be programed to the BCM. If you search you will find how to re program the key.
