I need some advice. My steering lock failed. It died while it was disengaged, so i figured i'd just remove the fuse, so i did that.
Now, the thing is that, the car still won't start even after i unplugged the negative terminal from the battery.
I need advice on what to do here to get the car to start.

Any help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi Kamus,

I thought I answered this--maybe on another thread.
If you are still stuck, fit battery terminal firmly.
(Windows will fall down on each door closing, so read owners manual first, or re-program. Hold them all the way down for a few secs, then all the way up held for a few secs. Job done after re-setting radio stations.)

Car not starting: Fit that fuse and, if cut, reconnect the wire: then ign on
and start engine. Switch off: then ignition on again, open door but must leave ign on:
remove fuse or cut the brown wire or fit the harness and or the switch: your choice.

Fritz
