Hmmmm I've checked all the fuses, but I will do it again just to be sure that I've nothing overlooked. ;-)
The starter relay is not bad.
If it is supplied with power when it is removed, it switches as normal as it should.
The problem is apparently that it is not activated by the engine control unit.
The question is why?
I only bridged it on a trial basis to rule out the starter motor as faulty.
I think the reason why the starter relay is not activated by the ECU is the same why there came no signal to the injectors and spark stages.
