@alfie One more thing you may want to check is there a[https://graphicspotratz.s3.amazonaws.com/potratzpotratz/articlepage/warninglightsCA.jpg|key icon on the dash]when your trying to start the car its usually a car with a key in the middle it will be yellow . One of the things that happen when a car is shorted is the chip in the key can loose it programing . If the icon is not showing on the dash then the chip in the key is done and will need to be reprogrammed . Sometimes turning the key on and off enough times will cause the light to show up and when it does the car will start. Hope this helps
