From the old year to the new - misadventures continue ... Part 2. sad. - Toyota Corolla, 1.6L, 1998

The severe frosts that chained Chelyabinsk on the New Year holidays became, if not fatal, then very, very unpleasant for my korollka.
The next morning, sitting behind the wheel when turning the key, I heard only a quiet: "Let's all go to ..." from my Toyota.

After an urgent resuscitation, the korollka, which had been sipping on gasoline, started up, but as revenge it lit an oil can on the dashboard ... and later it stopped starting altogether.
After being towed to the box to work my brother, where she was warmed

received new candles, and generally treated kindly from all sides.
But she did not respond to the turns of the key even with a slight sneeze. The starter was removed two or three times, spent the whole day. The preliminary diagnosis is that the retractor relay has died ... or is dying.
As a result, I am a pedestrian, a starter getting ready for repairs, a car in a box ... The year began sucks ...
