Car won't start, EIS or FUSE?
53000~ miles, oil been has been serviced each interval along with transmission fluid flush.
The car has been working fine, but when I tried to turn it on this morning, it didn't turn on.
The ignition switch into the 2nd position, but when i try to start the car it doesn't start. It's like when the battery die, the car won't start type of problem. I didn't think it was the battery because when my battery was dead before, the temperature reading was a high number.
The light, power, and radio turn on. Which make it seem like it was something else.
I read about the fuses. How do I go about opening the fuse box near the steering wheel? I wonder if there was a quick and easy way rather than prying it open and breaking tabs.
**
BUT after multiple attempts to start the car. I tried to get OBDII reading(no errors) and the radio was on for 10 seconds then it died (as in power off, like low battery)??
I hope it has nothing to do with the EIS
forgot to mention that the only error sign that was on was the "Turn Left Signal". This has been on, a couple weeks ago my driver mirror was HIT AGAIN for the second time. The mirror fell down, and some of the wires were ripped I just pop back in the mirror and connect the only plug that was there. Sometimes the Turn Left Signal pops up, sometimes it don't. Could the wire short circuit anything?

white and whiter
Open circuit drains the battery. Just jump start it.
I have the left mirror signal error for a while randomly as well after i painted the mirror red. Rainny day humidity goes up the light works. When dry, it does not...and moving the driver side window wil trigger the error.
Couple wks ago it fixed itself. The lights has condensation when rainning. I suspect the circuit inside the light might have corroded.

Wow sounds like my problem.
I read in the Faults after disconnecting battery thread that jump starting your car is bad?
It got a little more juice over night. Before the battery was drain that it didn't let me unlock or turn the key.
The battery is almost 4 years old.

Check fuses 31, 52 & 57. 52 usually blows & should be increased from 15A to 20A per MB TSB
Sorry I'm travelling.
