I went to start my car, no dash lights, engine firing, but not starting. I checked fuse 4 and fuse 15, both okay. Eventually it started went out couple times and the car did it once more.

Hi,

First, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so my technical information is extremely limited, but I will try my best to help.

When this happens, does anything work? For example, does the starter engage but the engine not run? Also, when this happens, do you mean the interior instrument cluster didn't have power?

Let me know. Also, it is always a good idea to make sure the battery terminals are both clean and tight.

Take care,
