Technical Fiat Ducato 2013

[DmaCel]

Decided to run engine after sitting for a while.
Switched on ignition and all lights started flashing. The fuel cutoff valve have been operated by the very strong wind rocking the vehicle.
Reset cutoff valve and all lights stopped flashing.
Tried to start but engine will not turn over.
All dashboard indicators show normal and operate normal but engine starter will not cut in.
I am lost as to what has happened. Any ideas?

Fault codes present?

I would be very surprised if wind caused the fuel cut off to activate. I have gone over massive potholes in mine and it has never activated.

Still waiting to get it tested.

I am not aware of a "fuel cut off valve" being fitted to any Ducato, except perhaps as part of an after market alarm system.

The item reffered to is the inertia device, which when operated interrupts the circuit for the in tank fuel lift pump. As has been suggested, it would be unusual for the inertia device to operate due to wind rocking the vehicle.

Do not expect any fault codes to be created by the starter motor circuitry, as there are no relevant sensors.

The starter solenoid/motor circuit is fairly basic.
Does the vehicle have automatic transmission, if yes then the selector must be in Park position before the starter motor is allowed to operate. Failure of the contacts in the selector switch is not unknown.

To progress a little further, is there an audible click from the starter solenoid when the key is turned? However with a click being heard, there is still the possibility that due to a faulty connection there could be insufficient current flowing, to fully engage the starter pinion, and close the solenoid contact to energise the motor.
