A starting problem with the Opel/Vauxhall Zafira.

Model: Vauxhall Zafira Zafira B, A05, MK 2 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Fuse box

In this video we can see an Opel/Vauxhall Zafira that had a starting problem; the battery was fine, so the youtuber had the starter motor replaced, but the problem was not solved. At that point, he did some experiments and discovered that the problem could be the starter motor relay, which is located in the fuse box located in the engine of the car. It is located on the top of the box, and it is that big yellow square that we can see indicated by the youtuber himself. It may need to be replaced, but it could also simply be loose. In any case, it should be checked.
