Today driving to Hungary, now camping in 🇩🇪.
But after my lunch, I thought my trip was finished:
  • Ignition didn't do it, but I had a rattle noise
  • I had an almost full tank of cheaper Gasoline ⛽️ from Luxemburg 😇
  • Battery was OK
  • I tried several times, to no avail
  • I disconnected all my electrical stuff (fridge, cell phone, wireless dongel, etc.)
  • I made a supplementary 10 minutes pause, still nothing, only rattling
  • I wrote down my location on a paper and wanted to call road assistance, but ...
  • I pushed with my finger all the fuses and relays down (those that I could reach)
  • And the car started!
  • After that, no problems anymore
I have a sound file of the rattling noise, but don't know how to post it here. My guess: no petrol injected in the motor. But I am not sure.
Bad contact or a popped out fuse/relay?
Did you feel any you physically pushed down when running over it?

You can upload the audio file to soundcloud and post the link here.

Are the black wing covers just decals?

Rattle noise ~ not just the starter cranking?

Fuses and relays ~ did any move?

Edit: also not the first with this issue:
Post in thread 'Who is experiencing software or electrical gremlins?' https://www.theineosforum.com/threa...-electrical-gremlins.12411996/post-1333207637
Some did move. Next time, if I have time, I'll do the scientific approach: take my fuse drawings and relay doc (that you provided) and do it slowly documented.
"Starter cranking " ... only the starter, but not sure if I understand what you mean.
Today no problems.

Yesterday I was in a small camping in a small village called Jagtshausen. Today I am in Czechia.
I've already heard about it and just looked at it in Google.
It looks quite nice. Have a good trip to Hungary.

Jagsthausen where Götz von Berlichingen (and our belated President Roman Herzog) lived? I‘ll be there two weeks from now for a hunting weekend…
