Dear Sir or Madam,

My car refuses to start and there is an indication of it going to ECO (economy) mode.

I have changed the battery, and it worked for a while, but now it seems to be locked.

The lights work fine, but the engine will not start.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,

Can I ask if the engine is cranking over okay and not running or is the engine not turning over (starter)? Here are two guides to help us find the problem:

and

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Please run down these guides and report back.

Hello Ken, and thank you for the reply.

1. When I turn the key, the engine makes no noise.
It is like it is "dead".
That said, the lights work perfectly.

2. Which part of the engine would you like me to video ?

3. Maybe it is the BSI/BCM ?

thanks in advance.
