VR6BOY 2 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 When you put the dash back together did you tighten up the 10 nut that has a heavy guage wire coming from the Immo box to the dash support near the steering column ?I did that once before and found it by stripping the dash back out looking for damaged or broken wires Link to post Share on other sites

Rikki 2 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 The lcd on the dash??? in01 means service is due. The black cable was probably the ring that should go on the column for the transponder in you key! Link to post Share on other sites
