Warning Light - Stopped Vehicle, will not restart

[Salty_Dog]

Just tried to start the vehicle
One again, open door, interior lights come on
Place key in ignition, turn the position 1, the Total Kilometers, Trip and Temp all light up
But nothing else
Turn to position 2, same as above, Kilometers, Trip and Temp display but no Dash Lights
Of course, then there is no cranking


It is like there is a Relay not being called to pull in by the ECU

(Yet last night, it started 3 times or 4 times........ after not starting prior)

What really concerns me, is every time you remove and replace the battery leads, there is that spark as the current load is drawn, i just hope that doesn't kill anything with in the vehicle's components
