My brother has just brought a '96 Peugeot 306, although the bodywork needs a bit doing to it, the main problem is the stupid keypad immobiliser. I know these have problems when the battery is low, but there is enough more than enough power there. Sometimes it will work first time, other times you have to type the code in a few dozon times to get it off. How do you bypass/remove the keypad? Peugeot can do it but they charge money, and their price will probably be more than the car cost. I have a good idea of what to do, but just want it confirmed. Obviously its not really a subject you want to discuss on a public forum so if anyone can help could they PM me please  Thanks! [edit] Forgot to ask, is the keypad and the ECU linked in? [/edit] |

A lot of the problems with 306 alarms and keypads is caused by a wiring block.
Peugeot, in their wisdom, placed the offending block just above the throttle pedal.
This gets a good kicking as a pastime, causing bad/loose connections.
Pain to get at if you aren't very nimble, but worth the effort of cleaning and making sure all the terminals are pushed in place before ripping the keypad out.

Is the car diesel by chance? if it is, its pretty easy to bypass.
Also it might be to old to have it but on some of the cars which have both a keypad and remote locking you can bypass the keypad.

We used to look after a fleet of them. I remember on the ones we looked after, if you entered the wrong code too many times you would get away with disconnecting the large round wiring connector below the n/s headlamp at the chassis leg for a few minutes!

Nope, 1.6 petrol. and yea, its not got remote locking. I know with the remote ones you can get the code to activate for a few minutes or something when the fob is pressed or something like that. |

Deffo works on 306's as well, we had to do it to one a few weeks back  Only thing to remember is, if the battery goes flat, you will have to plug it back in to start it but you can unplug it again afterwards  |

Mechanic's rule #1... If the car works, anything left on the floor after you finished wasn't needed in the first place |
