Hello people my name is Johan and i desperately need some advice , please I really need some help to get my vehicle running again. I have a Renault Alize. (Clio) 1.4 8v 2000 which has red immo light flashing, central locking not working and will at times start but immediately cut out again. It is fitted with a BMT N2 EV6.01* 12/00.<br />Sir my problem is that I am 54years old unemployed not recieving any government.pension or grants and completely rely on this car to earn any money to survive from day to day looking for any available work repairing or maintaining from pumps to vehicles. I do not have funds to replace bmt or immo , Sir I humbly beg is there any way to start this car again? I do not have funds for reprogramming at auto elec or locksmiths. Even Tsm374 is not possible at this time, unless I can manually short the immo off or some other permanent bypass I will be stuck permanently with no good future.
Thank you for your time*

Start by checking all the fuses. A locksmith will check the key usually for free that will eliminate or confirm if the chip is ok. After that you need diagnostic equipment
If the immobilizer light is flashing at a pace of 4 Hz when the key is inserted into the ignition lock, this means that the key is not being authorized to start the car.
This is also why the car will seldom start for about three seconds and then cut out. When you turn the key immediately after inserting it into the ignition barrel, the ECU and UCH have not yet negotiated if the key is authorized or not. So the default guess is that the key will receive authorization in three seconds. When this will not happen, the engine will cut out and the immo light will start blinking at 4 Hz.
Traditionally this means, that the key fob has a dry solder joint. You need to open the key fob and go through all the solder joints with a soldering iron.
Or if you've got a spare key, use that instead.
But the central locking acting up might aswell suggest that there is something more severe happening, unless the central locking works okay from the dash locking button. So then the fault would again locate at your car key.
Changing the key fob battery should have no effect on the starting of the car, as the key receives NFC magnetic power via the decoder ring situated around the ignition lock barrel.
Hello, I would like to thank you for your valued advice.
I took the key fob to a locksmith and apparently it gave no signal. After reslodering the coil block it sent signal on tester, central locking on fob does not work as previous immo tech had installed a new micro switch and from there troubles started . I walked back to car and tried the key to no avail, locksmith has told me to remove bmt n2 v6.01 19/00/12 and have another chip soldered on to permanently have immo off.
When I get temp work I will put money aside to get job done.
I have no idea what kind of a chip a Bmt n2 v6.01 19/00/12 is, or where it is located, so I do not really understand what has been done. But the wipers are not related to the car key.
Wipers not working could be due to the UCH unit being swapped to a non-matching version. Although the swapped over UCH could be re-coded to "match" your car but this requires processes that this forum forbids telling. So the only option is to find a perfect match UCH unit, or to bend over and go to Renault dealer and tell them to get a totally new one. They will not re-code the used one, they will only sell you a new one. The new one should cost around 250 pounds for the brand new UCH and some more for the coding. The coding is a one hour job.
Okay. Well if the UCH has not been replaced but the windscreen wipers stopped working, then the guy who did the work for you messed something up inside the UCH. Take it back and demand that they fix the UCH to its original state. The windscreen wipers are controlled via the UCH. Probably bad soldering, etc. Getting one thing fixed and simultaneously breaking up another function is not acceptable work quality.
