I have a 2003 X-type and we had some work done on it but the engine won't turn over when we try to start it. A red flashing light in the center console appears and I figure it's the security or immobilizer not letting the car turn on. I reset the key and re-programmed it. Not sure what to do from here.

 

Welcome, first and foremost.

"Turning over" is often a terminology misused.

The engine sounds like it is "rotating" but not "starting". CORRECT?

If it is cranking over (rotating) then it is simply not firing, and that could be the imobilier, or any number of things.

The other thing is that the engine does NOT rotate at all, as in seized, and that is car talk for"wont turn over"

Ya got to luv the English language, ha.

A quicky repost in teh X Type section will have answers flowing in your direction.

 

Welcome aboard.....good advice from Grant, the only thing I'd add is when you post , explain what was done prior to this happening.
