Just found this post by Steve, maybe the color it's blinking can tell us something.

It sounds like maybe it might be an immobiliser issue. You didn't steal the car did you? |

If the ignition cylinder is wonkered like you say, Can it switch on the radio the lights the AC like it does went I turn the key? Also my wheels unlock with the key.I checked again all the fuses are fine both in the box and the ones next to the clutch. there is no communication to the immobiliser as long as the anti-theft is still flashing right? I couldn't go out really the whole month of April due to the lockdown so I set it as a challenge to fix my issue myself, I guess I will take it to a mechanic next wotking day |

Alright so the mechanic said the problem is the key , it turned out that somehow my key is missing the transponder chip. I didn’t know anything about that and I surely don’t know how it’s not there anymore. I realised that my key cover isn’t the original so the previous owner might have placed the chip in another location in the car which I didn’t find.
So the solution apparently is to find the immobilser itself (not the immobiliser amplifier) and to reprogram it. It should be behind the dashboard in the middle like this picture shows that I found the another post but he didn’t find it so far... any ideas where and how to find this immobiliser? |

And there is no way they took the chip out and hid it anyplace and put a different cover on it. Give us a pic of the inside of the key.

Considering everything else that was tried it sounds to me like a neutral safety switch.

The thing is I talked to the dealer and they told me that they will have to replace many components including the ECM, they didn’t tell me how much it would cost but I’m estimating it’s gonna be 500 to a 1000usd. Or instead of that I can buy the whole system from scraps. I found an frs imported from usa Manual also. This car starts and have other issues. So If I buy it’s key+ignition coil+ECM+ECU and fit it in my car then it would start without key programming Correct? My car is a GT86 and this one an FrS both from 2013 and same key system. |
