electrical issue
Good Morning,
Lately I have been having intermittent problems with my lights either flashing or just staying on in my garage fir no reason. This in turn drains my battery and the car will not start. I have recharged the battery and it reads 100% but I am getting no power.I have read many threads on this forum, about the batteries being the culprit. My hazard flasher will pulsate and I can here the clicking coming from the passenger side fuse box. I opened that up and did some trouble shooting. When I unplug the green wire harness, the clicking stops and the hazard goes dead. Car still will not start! Need some help, adding a photo of that harness.

No easy way of knowing what on earth that harness does anyway tbh, you need wiring diagrams etc.
How old is the battery? What are you getting the 100% reading from, and how confident are you of it's accuracy?
These cars display very strange behavior when the battery gets low, which is why there's so many threads on the forum about it. When I drained my battery too low by leaving ignition on for a while, my fuel filler flap motor was pulsating in a really weird rhythm.

If the battery is low you will have odd issues with the lights. When my battery was dead a while back I tried to charge it but when it hits a certain voltage all the electronics in the car try to turn on and the lights start flashing like crazy and the battery won't charge. I had to disconnect the battery to charge it to 100%.
