After trying to install a new Xtrons 7" radio myself (the old one became way too buggy), the engine started just fine. But a second attempt got it throttled down and eventually it just doesn't want to start.

I disconnected the radio and the issue prevailed. I connected the old one - the issue still remains.

Everything seems to work fine (lights, arico and... the radio...) and I checked the fuses - they are not burned.

I tried to understand if it was an immobilizer (system) or the issue of not recognizing the steering wheel controls - but I don't see any lock icon warnings.

I will attach a short film to show what's going on.
(update: Couldn't attach a video, so attached a photo with an explanation).

Any idea or advice that I can try (except brining the car to mechanic, although thanks for that one too, beforehand)?


Can hear a solid sound for *starting up* but engine won't start.


Update: the warning icons to the right are seatbelt and hand break.
The warning icons to the left are steering wheel (with an exclamation mark) and battery. The battery is recharged and well.

Check your main fuse. Sounds like you might've popped it.

Thank you for the advice.

There are multiple fuses I checked and I hope to have checked them correctly (and all).
The Test light highlights on all the end of the small fuses (except for the ones palced in the spare positions).
The larger fuses with the clear see-through plastic shields seem OK (the connections still exist, as far as the see-through shields allows me to look). These go up to 40A, so I take it they are no the main ones.

I also saw a few not-see through large boxes, which should be fuses as well. They are on the left side of the fuse-box and they are screwed to the fuse-box.
The test light is working on both sides of the screws. I am not sure as to how to check them otherwise. Unscrew them?

That said -are these the main fuses? (there was one 80 and one 60, from what I saw).

A small update: I did check all the fuses and they are working fine (the main one as well).
When I disconnect the radio, connect the new one or connect the old one and then turn the key and start the motor - the motor starts, but then throttles down and afterwards won't start at all.

I asked a mechanic to take a look with me and he also had no idea what was wrong there.

Readings on the OBDII port were fine as well (no errors).

Update - it was a short circuit, unfortunately.
The problem is solved now.

Take-aways: if your motor starts and then dies and will not longer start, but everything seems to be working, then there is a short circuit somewhere.
