whining sound from starter

_deagle_, You actually could use the ignition wire for "ignition sensing", despite the fact of it getting immobilized. Just connect it on the side of the cut which is closer to the key cylinder. As far as your starter problem I'm sort of suspecting that there's a problem with the connections and they aren't getting enough current to the starter itself. Either that or the starter solenoid in a fluke occurrence went bad on its own(you could rule this out by applying 12V directly to the starter solenoid switched wire - be careful not to do this in gear!). Are you using butt connectors or solder for the main wires from the ignition switch? Twisting and taping the wires is not good for any kind of high current wires like that. If your connections are solid, I'd suspect the internals of the immobilizer module itself. In that case howie ii could diagnose better(in the US we don't have such products, just alarms with a starter kill relay).C Renner's Auto Electronix

My service is cheap, quick, and good - pick any two

Have swapped ignition sense cable to keyside ignition and works fine work. No noise whilst starting at all.

Thanks for all the help guys =)
