My EB fairmont the other day wouldnt start. it had no spark but fuel pump was working and was turning over fine . so i got on line and found out the smartlock can play up. so i cheaked to see if the light was going on the dash when i locked the car and it wasnt going . so i flicked thru the owners manual and it said if the car wont start to put the ignition into the on position for 30mins and then try to start the car and it worked but now i have to do it everytime we wanna use the car . has anyone had this prob and what did they do to fix it . and has anyone got rid of the smartlock altogether if so how do you do it

any help would be great thanks glen

Check your fuses to make sure none are blown, I know in the ef's atleast if the interior light fuse is blown the smart lock s**t pants and you have to do the half hour trick.

Cheers
