Great diagnostic skills, however I’m confused why did the car not start initially when you bypassed the main relay ?

Anyway..my issue...many thanks for your returned messages..take care.

Nice video mate ! I did not have the same issue but i used your diagram for the Simtec MS 75 ECU system (Opel uses more systems). Low voltage to engine ECU - Replace ECU code - Brake lights on all the time. Checked all the powers and had a wire with 2.8 V on it. Corrosion in de taped part next to the connector. Fixed the wire and it runs again. I post this for a future reader with the fault. The break lights go on by the ecu, i think it runs on can low, did not see anything in the can signal.

@@LMAutoRepairs Can I ask a question? You look like a guy good guy. I have an Opel Astra F, from 1996. I keep it in good condition, and I heard noise from the clutch, and transmission. I went to a mechanic, to change the clutch set, and probably the whole transmission, cause its cheaper that way for me. After the oil change and the transmission swap, I have low oil pressure, it lights up, and I can even hear sometimes the engine is dry. Wtf? Is this just a coincidence, that the oil pump just went out right after the fix, or did they fuck up something? Before that, engine was perfect. Sry for long post.

That external wire seems to be solid conductor prone to fracture and break again, its not a stranded wire, seems like someone took a telephone line wire to bypass the original faulty wire.

thank you for the vid ..... what tools u used to clean battery ?

That spindly wire you found external to the loom was much thinner than the manufacturer’s original. Someone fitted that bodge wire to overcome a previous fault, to overcome a poor connection or failure of the original wire. The bodge wire then failed itself ! bringing back the original fault......

Wouldnt it have been faster to check the main relay control wire by putting test light to power and removing relay and checking at control wire pin to see if computer lights test light proving that it is controlling relay rather than unplug computer and finding wire with continuity check?

Hoping someone may see this post and respond. I have an Astra Twintop 1.8l. I was going to switch batteries but did not want to lose the programming information...so I loosened the two main bolts of the battery terminals so I could start the car then switch batteries whilst the engine is running. With the battery terminals loosened I tried to start the car. As I turned the ignition, I heard the starter stuttering because of the loose battery terminals and suddenly the entire vehicle shut down. The battery has power but there is no ignition lights or anything. The Vehicle is completely shut down. What do I do? I cannot even close the electric windows. What has happened?

Hope you have leaned the lesson... The only programming information you would loose, would be the clock and date, possible the radio stations and the windows limits... all easy to resolve, and does not really worth the risk... Anyway, check fuses... if that is all good, there is a possibility that the low or spike voltages have damaged some module... Hope you get it sorted... 👍👍👍
