Car has always started every time since I got it two years ago. However, recently once every few weeks it will not start, not ticking over. Light, fans, radio etc all turn on. Car will start with a jump start then work fine whenever I start it back up. Battery is not drained as got it tested and it is fine. Any ideas anyone? Happy to provide more information if needed. Thanks

"My answers" are further down from the top in the link. I made some pictures too.

Many times, the problem is simple, it was overlooked or lacked better attention.

By you saying it will jump start and run, I feel that your fix will be in my link.

Get in there!

Let us know how it goes.
