Hi Senol,

This still sounds like an electrical issue from the symptoms you describe.

When the engine stops, what other electrical systems are still working, headlights, horn, wipers etc? If the permanent live circuits are still working I would check the ignition circuit wiring and connectors, the fuses, and, of course the ignition switch itself, as no warning lights could mean a dead ignition circuit. If all circuits are dead when it happens, I'd look toward the main power feed from the battery. checking all the connections and earths and fuses and cable routes checking for damage

Does this happen when travelling on rough roads ie could it be a loose/poor connector breaking contact. When you start it first thing in the morning, do all the dashboard warning lights work? A quick way to check is as in my last post, wire a supply from the battery to the solonoid. If this solves the problem it's the wiring and not the solonoid.

Let me know how you go on

Regards

Hi Ged,
Actually in all cases it was day time so couldn't noticed if permanent live circuits were running.
But i'll check it with the next case.
Yesterday we went for a trip of 260km (%80 motorway %20 country road).
Nothing happened. We even faced with very heavy rain while the vehicle was stanionary and on the motorway.
There is always water on the floor after it rains. I'm telling this because i wonder if it may have an influence on this issue.
Cheers,
Senol.
