Yes, the key is not necessarily wrong or damaged, but, if you have a poor contact, or
the alarm is not properly installed, UCH does not recognize it and the LED on dashboard flash.
Today we checked LED for coded key when engine didn’t want to start and it was not blinking at all - it seems that problem is not coded-key related.
When we tried to start the car we noticed that battery indicator (red LED shaped as car battery on dashboard) was also lighting, although not in full power (maybe it would be best to describe that it was kind of blinking in the rythm of the car stater). But, we checked the battery voltage (on the battery itself, reliable digital voltmeter) before and it was OK.
So, it may be that problem is caused by alarm that is not "properly installed" - but I am not sure if you were thinking about the case when alarm is configured to “cut” the ignition of the car (“ignition blocking”) or you were thinking of some “typical” weak point of Logan electronics (like never to take power for alarm from this ... as that line is very sensitive to .... or whatever...).
In this particular case alarm is installed to have siren and “panic alarm” (all 4 direction indicators blinking) – and to have “remote” central lock (as here Logan Ambiance comes with a central lock – but it is de/activated manually, by key in drivers door – not via remote control). Alarm added that central lock by remote command feature.
Any input more than appreciated!
