replacement immobilizer
 

hi all
i bought a 2001 boxster last year. i knew when i got it there was a problem with a flooded immobilizer. after buying one on ebay i changed it out along with the ecu and changed the pill in the key fob. the cars runs fine now except there's no power to the climate panel so no heat or a/c and the check engine light doesn't work so i cant get my emission inspection. did i miss something? the fuses all seem fine. thanks

if your car starts then there's nothing wrong with the DME or immobilzer. I'd check for a blown fuse for the hvac control unit but it could also be bad. They're known to go out. As for the check engine light, I'd start by making sure the bulb in the cluster is good

From my experience with a bad Immobilizer, the power windows, power locks and interior lights did not work. Replaced the Immo and everything worked.

I don't know whether it effects the HVAC, but it effects a lot more than just starting the engine.
