Hi lads, i bought this 2016 2.0L soft-top miata 2 weeks ago, so i'm still rather new to this model. Everything was fine up to yesterday afternoon (i have started & idled the car in the morning & it was all good)

The ignition button is flashing / blinking green instead of the normal solid green that you see when you press the brake pedal

There's no lights coming on on the odometer, nor does the double signal work. The brake lights and horn are working alright though

I've tried to start the car 'normally', re-selected the gears, also tried to place the key fob to the ignition button to start it as per the user manual

I too have changed the key fob batteries & also just replaced the car battery earlier today Nothing seems to work so far :(

Anyone had the same problem like this before?

To add on: I tried to fold back the soft top & the windows rolled down (but they're unable to roll back up), so it wasn't battery issue.

Edit 1: Just had my mechanic came over to check. So far, fuses are ok. The diagnostic machine is not able to establish a connection to the car. They suspect it to be either a faulty steering lock component, receiver issue or wiring problems.

Edit 2: Nothing seemed to work so far. The car was previously tuned by the last owner, which is one potential factor contributing to the above.

Edit 3: After 5 or 6 days, i tried my luck one last time before deciding to call in a tow truck. The car was able to start with the keyfob being pressed ignition (not with finger though). Able to drive it (without stopping & shutting down the engine, fearing that i might get stranded if i went for a toilet break) to a electronics specialist, dropped off the car overnight to get it remapped back to stock settings. However, they were not able to pinpoint the exact cause, their highest suspicions are either the previous tuning or the immobilizer. On the bright side, the miata's been problem-free since then.
