Are you seeing a red warning light - car-shaped with a key / flashing red car symbol - on the dashboard and can't start the campervan aka no power to start? Looking for info about how to fix the key blinking light on the dashboard? No worries, it's no issue, it is just an innocent warning light. We'll explain it right here....

This red warning light on the dashboard is an immobiliser warning light (anti-theft security system). It is a great piece of technology and its purpose is to prevent the vehicle from being stolen. There is nothing to worry about.

Try these suggestions....

  1. Your key fob - also known as a transponder - does not recognise the car key used. Try bringing the key fob closer to the ignition button or on the dashboard

  2. If the car doors or boot is open and the key fob is inside the vehicle - the warning light is telling you have forgotten your key.

  3. The battery in the fob is getting low.
