Hello there, nothing happens. I remote unlock the car but from there on nothing occurs at all. The ignition lights don’t come on, the interior lights don’t work, the exterior lights don’t operate either. Taking the key out of the ignition and putting it in again doesn’t work either. The battery terminals are all also both clean and tightly fitted. Sometimes the car alarm goes off if i keep trying the ignition but that hasn’t happened recently.

Had a recurring issue with my car, a skoda fabia MKII from 2013. For every 15 successful starts or so there will be one where I unlock the car, get in, put the key in the ignition, turn it and then absolutely nothing happens at all. Not even the hazards work when this occurs. I’ve realised that to fix this i need to get out of the car, lock it again remotely (why this works and the rest of the electrics don’t i have no idea), unlock it again and get in and then everything’s fine and dandy. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on here, I’ve literally never seen a car do this before in my life; I’m less concerned and more just genuinely in awe of how such a sudden and catastrophic failure of every single electrical system in my car can just happen sometimes and then ‘fix’ itself in a second.
