[QUOTE="azman818, post: 152374, member: 1152"] jarance, the foreman did not expect any problem from that switch part also - like you said this part seldom give problem when he was trying to track the problem we even thought it was the key's chip or the antenna at the lock but plugging into D51 gave no fault reading. so he's got no clue in the meantime i had to drive slow and only for around shah alam so everytime engine shutdown i would quickly and safely pull over to the side and restart the foreman's clue came when restart got nothing. when he arrived at the stalled car, it was spot-on troubleshoot mechanical contacts in the switch probably broken these are the things where diagnostics give NO clue - mechanical parts like funfer is saying we have to watch for signs - SYMPTOMS - like strange sound - to know it's about to fail but sometimes (just like this experience for me) we will have wait for it to fail before we know what it is.
