Thank you very much!! I will give it a try tomorrow afternoon. Are there any bolts for the cover or any other details on how to do it (afraid of braking something)? Glad to find such responce and help.

Any news about this? mine (99 model) also cannot start even if the starter turns pretty good, the battery is only 3 months old, the battery/SRS/oil check lights come on but prety weak - can see them only in the dark... had been driving with problems like dead dashboard from the start or when...
