my saab diesel auto wont start.
when you turn the key in the ignition, the car goes through its diagnostic check and displays 'traction control failure-contact service'.all lights,windows,power seats work ok...but if you try power hood,thats not working.....also if you turn ignition key nothing happens..not even a 'click'....Anyideas please??

Hi,thanks for your reply...i have been to a auto electrician....the fault seems to be there is no earth through relay No.7....either a new ecu ~£800+ labour or a small switch fitted on the dash to earth the relay ~£90.....i opted for the switch....seems ok for now
