Hi all my car wont start

I have taken the back seat off and I can see there is a intermitent current going to the fuel pump and the pump works but current is intermiten sometimes there sometimes not but i can see its trying to start

what do you think this maybe?

could it have something to do with the instrument cluster?

yep defo aggree with that...you will see white rubber on a piece of chip board aka the 50 amp fuse underneath the heat shrink .

remove the white rubber thing and see if there is a crack in the metal strip bridge them together to get it working for temporary use. i jut bought myself a 50 amp maxi blade and fuse holder.

good luck.
