Relay N is for circuit 87M: starting circuit. Without fuse, the relay will not work; therefore, not starting capabilities.
CaliBenzDriver suggestion is to reboot the car: disconnect the main battery and the auxiliary in the left sidepod in the rear. Wait , and reconnect. You can remove the negative on each and wait before reconnecting.
The same idea of removing the battery on a laptop: main and coin , press power to discharge capacitors, and reconnect. Voila laptop now works, or works better.

Cali's suggestions is the network is already compromised. Once reset we can see the natural state of it. I reboot my cars once or twice a year when I charge/refresh the batteries with a CTEK charger

Newer models seem to call it Electronica ignition control lock. There no steering locking, and why asked earlier. Still there is a security/theft prevention system to protect your investment, and apparently drained too. I assume that system is hosted on the ECU or the ignition switch.
I do not have the circuit diagram to tell. Likely required to understand the remaining pieces

Do not troubleshoot pulling relays... it will only waste your time and money....
Don't pull any parts from a powered chassis else reboot afterwards or best power down first.
Nothing is plug and play in these networked car computers.
