Problem starting car

Post by asthg » Thu Nov 12, 2009 2:25 am

Hi all,
I have been driving my ride for 1 yr w/o any problem. But tonite, suddenly when I tried to start the car, there was totally no response. The engine could not start. The hand-brake, fuel and all lights were not displayed.
Does anyone here know what is the problem and what ways to rectify the problem?

Thanks

Hi, it may be another possible problem beside a battery flat.
There is an ignition relay(insert key and turn area) tat draws the power from the battery. It might be tat one defective. Is not quite a common problem but it does happen to be one of the possible fault.
