Hi,

After I had a break on the rest area, I could not start again. All lights usual when the key is in position 2 (contact on ready to start), then only motor light (!) Is on when I try to run the engine and nothing more happens.

The immobiliser is working propely, I checked all fuses. I can hear a relay switching off in the fuse box (windows) but I guess it is normal.

The car is a Station wagon forte
Thanks for the help

Yes indeed. I did not see the web site is Canadian but I hope you can help me anyway. By the way I am not Australian as you probably notice with my poor english.

I am Australian and live in Vic, I'm the only Aussie working here, Start with checking that the starter is getting power, there is a switch that is on the side of the transmission that controls power to the starter so it will only start in park and neutral, this switch can fail and cause this problem, start looking here first.
