Everything was working OK. Battery was one year old. I have had the car from new and it has never given trouble.
I like driving it and don't want to change it, especially with the current astronomical state of used car prices..
One morning, the key would not spring back and the engine would not crank. Dashboard, lights, radio, etc., worked OK.
I called out the local mobile auto-electrician (highly experienced, highly recommended, best in the area).
He connected up his laptop and said that he needed more information.
Today, he said that he is waiting for some information (codes?).
I would be grateful for any information on:
1) why the key would not spring back;
2) why the engine would not crank;
3) what information or codes the auto-electrician is waiting for (he is very taciturn); and
4) is this something that can be rectified.
Thank you in advance.
