Immobiliser removal.

My immobiliser has packed in on my MK2,Its donkeys years old made by spyball.
Looks like it's wired into the hazard warning lights as they started flashing when it stopped.
Will it be easy enough to remove?
Cheers Chris

old immobilisers are usually easy to remove its just a case of looking to see where they were spliced into the loom cutting them out and rejoining the wire that were cut into when it was fitted

Thanks Graham.
Had to sort of hot wire it at the side of the road. Good job I was only 2 miles from home.

Best reason for ripping the damn things out as soon as you find one! Secret switches far more reliable !

i would agree, although in my opinion most people do secret switches wrong, they switch a live, which is easily hotwired, better to have a secret switch that turns the negative/switched side of the coil to a permanent earth

Just about finished sorting it.
The thing was soldered into the loom so I had to open the loom and track all the wires.
Was thinking of putting something like this and if it does fail it's just a case of joining the wire back together.
