Thank you for reading this... it is NOT the usual will not start problem.
The car will not start.... I turn the ignition key once, the dashboard lights come on as usual, but after 5 seconds or so, all the dashboard lights go out.
I try again and try to get key to position 2 to crank the engine.... nothing whatsover.... lights go out again.
No clicks or anything.
I called the AA (I am a long term member).... the patrolman spent over an hour and could not start the car.
Everything appears ok.... battery ok, key fob ok, fuel pump ok, starter motor, all fuses, all earths, etc etc etc.
He checked every fuse under bonnet, under dashbaord, took steering wheel down to check ignition switch etc etc etc..... nothing .
After the hour, he gave up and suggested I get an auto electrician.
My usual garage doesn't have one..... they suggest I get it to a local dealer....but...
The car has 'locked' itself in Park, so cannot be rolled onto a trailer?
Any ideas PLEASE.... thank you.
