[vsmaloo84]

Great people out there, i have a little dilema, My ute key went through the wash at work and lo and behold jump in the ute this morning and no go. Now ive had a new key cut and same thing happens, turn it on the fan turns on and everything has power but the starter motor has no go what so ever, now ive read it may be the immobiliser in other forums, but id like some answers. Any one that has any helpful advise would be greatly appreciated.

If they whole key went through the wash you will need a new black part of the key (cant think of its name right now) and get it re programmed to suit...

Agreed, they dont do so well once they've been washed lol so you are up for a whole new key. If you cant afford a whole new key you could try taking it apart, dropping in metho and letting it dry out for a couple days. Works for mobile phones too lol.

Did you just get the metal peice cut or did you get a whole new chip thingy inside the black part??? Did you get it reprogrammed at all??

you need a mechanic with a tech 2 tool. they will know how to do it or maybe a good locksmith that sells the keyheads can do it for you

Usually you would unlock the car with the original key then start it with the new one.
