Three lights blew on the left side in a week. Upon changing these the car stopped working. In key, sometimes it stays in economy mode, others it will let the radio and windows work. Not starting though. Not even turning over. You can just hear the relays doing their thing. We have changed the starter motor, tried the BSI reset. Checked all fuses and changed the battery. We are stuck now. Any ideas?

If something stops working after you change something, it worth going back to whatever you changed and check its all ok there.Rhyk wrote:Upon changing these the car stopped working.
Solenoid. Check for 12v at the solenoid when the key is turned to starter position.Rhyk wrote: Not starting though. Not even turning over.
