Ciao, please any hint more than welcome. If I solve it within today it's great, if not tomorrow I'll call the service, but I'll be in Germany and I guess it will not be that easy to sort it out.
Today I was checking radio connections (antenna cable) since the FM tuning was quite poor. I double checked all connections (even the first time installation was done my myself) but when I put everything back in place the car was not starting anymore.
What's happening
the radio was switched off on purpose. It's working.
- Engine light ON - SRS light ON longer than usual (but maybe it's just me noticing it) - Start button not switched on
Useful (maybe) info - Battery is not flat - I disconnected the radio and tried to start the car - I already took away the radio and checked all cables behind (at least the ones I can see). - I checked fuse box and all fuses seem ok - All interior lights works properly - Headlights ok - Power windows ok - Central locking ok - Remote boot opening ok - Boot opening with the button not working - No lights in the dash buttons
To reset the the inertia switch on the fuse box do I have to press the right button until a small wing comes out on the side and push this wing back in place? if yes, already tried it.

Funnily enough I've had the radio out on my aero today to put in an aerial switch. I know you've probable checked this but have you knock the shift leave out of park? If you have it won't start.
Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs. Other than that you've got a lot of wiring behind the dash, have you dislodged a wire from the starter?
If so, have you caught the cable that runs to the START button?
They are in close proximity; hence my question.
I tried to look at it but it seemed to me to be fine. But for sure there is something disconnected since no button has light. I cannot just understand where to check

Yes, shift checked, it was in parking (but later I'll go again to check it). Behind the dash there were only who whitish connectors and they were properly connected.
Meanwhile the video is uploaded (if it helps)

Do you need to depress the clutch to start the engine? Could the clutch switch be at fault?
It's automatic. And you do not have to press the brake pedal as well.

How frustrating.....
Tomorrow I asked my mother to call them since I'll be travelling the whole day abroad. I hope she succeed to have an appointment. Trying to solve it from Germany it will not be easy.
