A6 4F 2004 Starting Issues

Hello, so yesterday i turned on car and everything was fine drove for about 20 kilometers.... left it... for 5 minutes came back cannot start... I turn off the cable off of ELV and turned it back on there was contact and i could start it but it instantly turned off... Couldn't lock it... Had to call help.
So i bringed my car back home to work on it... I did ELV Repair Changed ACT512 relay and J518 switches... placed it back on i can hear it unlocking the wheel and yet same issue remained.. after some tries to turn it on it suddenly stop giving me any signal... Contact was not there no crank no ignition no nothing... Like its dead Only MMI Worked. Lights didn't work aswell. Changed battery nothing. did jump start nothing... Cleared off all faults nothing... I am really losing my mind up in here. I also did check most of the relays everything was fine. Fuses are all ok aswell. Idk what to do guys help me up please... I really need my car...

Here are faults. Oh ye like EVERYTHING has fault or not being reached...

First thing to do is to clear all faults and try again.

I did... i did clear faults and everything... nothing... I am suspecting either ECU or Dead Relay somewhere.

Any signs of water intrusion anywhere in the car (trunk, floors, under the cowl at the bottom of the windshield)?

Nope.... Everything is dry... like i drove it 20 kilometers if it was water in first point i would probably get stuck in middle of the road or wouldnt be able to turn it on in the first place.

Fixed it, after all it was ELV it was due to replace. Restoration wasn't gonna do it... changing microswitches was useless.. I needed a new ELV. Now everything works fine.
