Like I said in the other thread you started, try the old chip and see what happens - the new one could be faulty somehow. Then check over everything you done when fitting the OBC.

I know it doesnt go near the ignition (other than the stalk) but its all worth checking.

You may of disturbed something when fitting the OBC or the stalk and not realised.
