Starting failure SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Fox 2006  230000 miles
Hi, I own a Fox 2006 and, from one day to the other, it did not start any more. The previous night, I had left the ground wire from the battery disconnected in order to reset errors in the ECU. The following day, I connected the wire again, put the key in the ignition and the needles did not move and the light indicators on the dashboard did not turn on either. When turning the key completely, the starter activates but the engine does not start. The front lamps, stereo, blinkers and windscreen wipers turn on. As the alarm remote control was not working, I used to activate it from the driver's lock and desactivate it by putting the key in the ignition; now, the alarm cannot be desactivated that way. I would appreciate any advice or help you could give me. Thank you in advance.

The problem was solved. The red button in the fuse box that disconnects the alarm was damaged and, when this happens, the current to the computer is cut.
