My clio will not start and the immobiliser light is flashing on the dash quickly along with the battery and stop light staying on I have dissconnected the key reader and reconnected it and also dissconnected the relays under the bonnet and fitted some off anothe clio and still the car does not start. I dissconnected the 3 connectors under the glove box and left it for 5 minutes and reconnected it. I asked the techs at my work as I work for renault and that is what he told me to do I am an apprentice at renault, a master tech at my work said if its not that it could be the uch?

The ONLY way to reset your immoboliser system is to plug it into renault's diagnostic computer and have it reset/reprogrammed. Unplugging connectors/sensors/battery will not work. There is a 4 digit bypass code you can get from renault using your VIN number. Which will temporarily disable the immoboliser and allow you to drive the vehicle !. Your Master Tech should know this?
