VR ECU relay + Gearbox Ground

Recommended Posts

Hopefully just a quickie!

 

Went to go for Lunch earlier and the car wouldn't start. fuel pump was whirring and ecu relay 109 was clicking a lot.

 

Obviously the car wouldn't start. I had a quick look under the bonnet to see if any wiring had gone astray and found this:

My question is: would the Gearbox earth shearing cause a short in the electrics? the bare cable was resting on the gearbox support in the back of the photo so i don't really see why that would be an issue as it still essentially grounds to the gearbox.

 

So is it just a coincidence? Ill get the ECU relay changed asap anyway, but that's going to take a couple of days to arrive and I just want to make sure I know what caused it.

 

The car started fine again after 20 mins btw.

 

Any ideas welcome!
