Thank you for letting me know you no longer need help. I want to make sure you are taken care of. Here's a general answer given the limited information I have about the issue.The biggest issue with the terminal 15 fault is its just the vehicle saying its not happy with the load on the ignition on circuit it doesn't actually tell us why or what the issue is .the first places to start are to test the ignition switch and main relays to ensure these are functioning correctly .these are the most common causes for the fault code and the starting fault .please let me know if you do change your mind and want further assistance .we are always here to help

Why is my car blowing hot air and cold air at the same time?
The answer to this depends on whether you have switched on heating, cooling (A/C) or neither. In one scenario, for example, if you have not switched on the A/C system, but the A/C is running as confirmed by a visual...
