I've checked all the fuses and they seem fine. The error code is P0830, for a malfunction within the clutch pedal switch circuit. Did your gear selection display also stop working? That seems less common.

Okay, P0830, gotcha. My gear selection display was definitely acting up too, showing gibberish half the time. Honestly, I messed around with it for an afternoon, checking wires, spraying contact cleaner... nothing. Eventually, I just took it to a workshop. Best decision ever.

Thanks for sharing. It seems like getting professional help is the best idea. The estimated repair cost of 95€ seems reasonable, so I'll go ahead with that. It's good to know I'm not the only one facing this.

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I had something pretty similar happen with my SM5. No engine start, cruise control dead... the whole shebang! I never saw an error code, though. Did you check all the fuses? Which error code are you seeing, by the way?
