2003 S type unable to start following fob battery replacemen

[Tonna75a]

The battery on my 2003 Jaguar S Type spare key fob died. Having replaced it, it now opens and locks the car doors but cannot start the engine, stating that the steering wheel is locked. What should I do?

Hi

By the sounds of it the transponder chip has fell out of the fob when you have take the key/remote apart

the battery only effects the opening and closing of the car doors, starting is by a transponder chip in the remote, there two types of transponder chip and small black plastic type chip, about 10mm long and a cylindrical glass type chip, if it wont start this is missing

you need to find it and slot it back in the key part of the remote/key

pics below, but the are only about 10mm long

cheers
