Now she is really pissed off at me.
Any ideas anyone
Have you reconnected all connections properly? I think these have a relay, so it could be this has lost power. Either way power is not reaching the starter motor.
I don't think the starter is an immobilisation point, which eliminates this, but does the LED go off inside?
