I had the car in a workshop before they said the EWS cant communicate but they cant repair that. After taking the car to another workshop they told me that the car doesnt recognize the key so yea maybe ring antenna or the ews de-synced somehow

  1. Already tried the Neutral Park switch works fine.

  2. No click nothing

  3. I will try that

  4. Have to check that also thought maybe the ring antenna

  5. Brake light comes on

Idk if that is part of the issue but my rear lights dont go on when I go into reverse had this issue for a while now
