where is the IMMOBILIZER located? I took the battery out of my 8g and left it out for about a week...i had to take the dash out..lower part only...(you know replace the blower motor)..and now my car wont start..all electrical works..and battery is good...but it wont start....some one told me it could be the galants IMMOBILIZER..he said that his eclips had the same problem...any one car to comment..?
i dont believe the 99 galant has an immobilizer, if it does then it would probroblly be somewhere near the ecu like the 00's
Its not near the ecu but that don't matter because there is no immobilizer in the 99
I doubt this would matter since the chip is in the Key and it does not need battery to keep its codes as it is flashed on the chip itself, the same goes for the cars computer as they are flashed at the same time. does your car tries turn over at all?
does not turn over just clicks....Quote:

No, the immobilizer is located under the ac controls. A little black box, not the silver one(thats the cruize control ecu)Quote:
