Hello everyone, it’s me again haha
I’ve had this issue for about six months now and I just can’t figure out what’s causing it. Basically, the problem is that when I try to start the car, I turn the key to the ignition position but the dashboard lights don’t come on properly. Then, when I try to crank the engine, it won’t start. If I turn the key back and then try again, the lights come on normally and the car starts without any problems.
It also often happens that when I use the indicator (either left or right), the car suddenly shuts off – even while I’m driving. For example, I’ll be driving and then signal to turn, and the engine just cuts out. I then have to press the accelerator all the way down to get the engine going again, and I have to switch off the indicator if I want to keep driving.
I’ve uploaded some videos so you can see what I mean. I changed the battery a few months ago, and I’ve checked the voltage and current with a multimeter – everything seems fine. I also checked the ground connection under the engine (possibly to the transmission?) and that seems fine as well. I suspect it might be an issue with the ignition barrel.
Anyway, if anyone has had the same or a similar problem, please let me know how you fixed it – or if you have any idea what might be causing this. I’d be very grateful!
