print plate and the soldering still seems to be OK.
It does not seem to be the "skreem" issue because in that case the engine would crank. In my case it remains totally dead when I turn the key.
When I disconnect the battery (not sure this is solving the issue) and wait for a least 24hours before reconnecting, the car starts again.
Any suggestions what I could do to fix this ? Can I do some kind of active reset instead of just waiting?
Thanks!
I would think it's the Relay Control Module. The soldering may be good, but the relays inside may have gone bad. Have you tried replacing the RCM and see if the problem goes away?
If the fuel pump relay has failed the car won't start. You can test this by using a rubber band a round it to keep it closed.Also, check the fuses on top.
