Yaris wont start - Toyota Yaris Forums

Broke down again today.

My female car mechanic came out and tried to fix it.
Battery pull didnt work so she says it will most likely be a dodgy switch or relay most likely a sensor perhaps in the brake pedal switch or gearbox Neutral sensor.

It looks like it might be the gear change selector mechanism or gearbox.

She got back in car and tested the gear change in various positions then switched to manual and within a few minutes she had the car started.

The symbol that always lights up looks like a gear cog in red with the exclamation symbol inside , the engine warning light is on and most of the others as well.

She says it might be gear warning light but as she is only a Lotus/Rover/Opel mechanic she doesnt know for sure need to look it up in the manual or better still get it back to the garage.

Thanks for all replies by the way, it is appreciated...

Picture of the dashboard is on the way!
