Disconnect battery for 30 mins. Then try again.
No luck with that.

I feel this is all related to electricity.

  • My voltage at ignition position 1 & 2 is 11.9v.
  • At running (idle) it's 13.6v (shows that read for 5 seconds, the the Trans. Failsafe comes on).

I just tried to plug a cigarette USB port into the socket- it sparked and stopped working (the USB). I tried another USB (very briefly) and it made a whining noise, so I unplugged it immediately...

Maybe unrelated, but i hear this clicking/ticking sound from the passengers side (in Australia, so LHD). Here is a video of how it sounds


Remember, I'm very new- so may had missed something basic.
