Car won't start! Help needed immediately!

Every couple weeks my car wont start. I turn and turn the key and after i quit i go to bed. Time for work and it starts again. This is getting to become really annoying. My stereo won't work, the lights won't work yet the climate control does. On the dash the high beam is illuminated, and the display reads 185 deg F, and the errors that cycle through are, restraint SRS visit workshop, faulty display visit workshop brake fluid check visit workshop and tele-aid visit workshop.

This happens mostly when its raining outside. Im thinking that it may be my foglight, theres a crack in it and water may be seeping in?

If this has happened to anyone please help!!

Does the motor turn over? If it does, and fails to start, I would start with the crankshaft position sensor. Search for details.

Sounds like you have a low voltage problem. Your battery probably has a bad cell, I've seen this many time were the battery will cause the problems you have described.
I suggest changing out the battery.

If it mainly happens at rainy weather, it could be water entering the rear or the front SAM area, I've seen multiple posts on similar problems.
