I just tried to do a oil service reset wich did not work and now my car wont start. Nothing happens when I turn the key to pos 3 for engine start. All other things work in pos 2.

Any help out there?

Can you explain more about the rest not working? What did u do?

How did you try to reset the oil service light?

If nothing is happening your starter isn't getting power, is your battery connected?

All electric things work in pos 2. Stereo, windows etc. I believe the anti theft system is engaged somehow. I will try with a spare key tomorrow as explained in another post. I tried to reset the oilservice indicator with a wire from pin 7 to 19 in the computer attachement.

I also have the key with alarm/lock buttons.

Here is the another post. He had exactly the same symptoms as me.

This is the result. On the way to the stealer.

ouch, what was it???

I have not heard from the shop yet. I belive and hope it just is the anti theft system, which is software. If the main computer is burned it will be very expensive.

I have a no start problem just like you. What was the problem/solution?
