Does it also work if he bashes the dash near where his left knee would be?

The BEM can get dry joints on the PCB which makes starting intermittent at times.

i dont have an answer to your question but i have a similar problem in my ed. more often than not the car will not start unless i hold the key in the start position and release the handbrake, but then there is the very rare occasion that the car will start normally once you turn the key.

i like the idea of dry points on the BEM as this is directly above the handbrake. how would go about fixing this. is it as simple as spraying the contacts with electrical contact cleaner or some spray along those lines
