Do you mean pin 16? What year and engine in your car. Can't find anything around there with 16 pins. Wire colour may help.

The two white connectors on drivers side a frame it's the larger one of the two and the White plastic connector has numbers when the wires go in and the one has number 16 going into the connector but on the plug you put into it there's no wire it's green with red stripe

Come on, do you believe someone nicked a wire overnight? or what makes you think problem lies with that connector?

Answer Wammer's questions and have you had it on diagnostic

See adverts in for sale section: Burnt out crystal balls

adamnbecky2010 · Mar 14, 2015

Yes had it on diagnostics and its a anti theft alarm serial link fault if that helps

You need help first, then when you figure out to give as much info as possible, come back

adamnbecky2010 · Mar 14, 2015

Everything has to be dragged out of you, begin with Wammer's questions above

Which diagnostic tool was used? What exactly did it tell?
if you suspect the connector why haven't you binned it and soldered the wires?

adamnbecky2010 · Mar 14, 2015

Don't know what diagnostic was used but I've put on the fault I've been told to check the a frame connectors for problems so I've checked them and for the rest of it mozz told wammers mines the same as his engine and year wise on the dash it says engine immobilised press remote I'm sorry if I'm being vague but this isn't the first post I've done about this hope this helps

adamnbecky2010 · Mar 14, 2015

Right then checked both door out stations and they seem fine now on the dashboard says neutral and press remote any ideas ?

Saint.V8 · Mar 14, 2015

This is getting painful....

The white connectors in the A Pillar of the passanger side are for the EAS ECU to Dashboard centre console switches!

So lets make this dead simple:

What Year? - 2000 yes?
Engine? - Thor 4.6 yes?
Does the engine spin over but not fire?
Does it not spin over at all?
Does the message say 'Select Neutral' or 'Transfer Neutral' ??
Is the P lamp illuminated on the dashboard?
Have you checked the plugs for a petrol smell?
Have you checked for a spark at the plug?
Have you tried the EKA code?
Have you tried looking at the connection to the Crank Sensor?

Why check door outstations? they won't prevent the car from starting??

adamnbecky2010 · Mar 14, 2015

Transfer neutral,widows not set sunroof not set etc key code lockout engine disabled press remote and indicators flashing

adamnbecky2010 · Mar 14, 2015

Will not start tried sync mate and it flashes 5 times which is a communication fault

adamnbecky2010 · Mar 14, 2015

It's a 2001 not 2000

Saint.V8 · Mar 14, 2015

Transfer Neutral means the transfer box is in neutral....is there a fuse in position 11 under the driver seat? If so, remove it and try again...

If there isn't, what condition is your battery in??

Windows not set can be ignored for now, just try and get the car started first.

If you have a good battery and no fuse in position 11, but still have this message, I can only think the Transfer Box motor is either stuck, switch pack duff or the ECU is fried....

The P38 - infact any automatic - cannot be started while in a drive gear....if the Transfer Box ECU is ried, it may have spiked the gearbox ECU so it now thinks it is in a drive gear and has inhibited the starter...

Again I can only surmise, becasue you still haven't told us if the engine spins over or not...if it does spin over then, there is nothing wrong with the gearbox ECU....

Help pleaseeeeee
