Default EF Wont Start

Hey guys, got an EF Falcon and lately it has intermitently not been starting, but I would just leave it for a little bit or keep trying to turn the key and it would eventually start in the past, and it seemed to only do it when it was a pretty hot day

Today it finally wont start at all I turn the key and I get nothing not even a click or solenoid noise and I get an exclamation mark symbol on the dash as the key is turned to the start position, any ideas?

Ive been having some problems with the central locking going up and down sometimes aswell could this have anything to do with it maybe immobilizer or something?

Cheers.

Common prob for no start autos are the inhibitor switch. When these fail car always thinks you're in Drive so no start, not even a click.

cheers

I would be calling a Mobile Auto Elect? or Mechanic? It COULD be many things and if you try to change things to elimate the problem it COULD cost a lot?

There is one thing though I could recomme3nd you look at, the EEC Relay.
