The entire module that holds the six relays needs to be replaced.

After further investigation today I concluded that the K40 module works fine.
I removed the plastic cover on the K40 module (

The interesting thing is that the position of the relays where the same during the those times when my car did not crank (starter motor does not turn). Thus I do not think your previous problem is the one I am experiencing right now.
The K40 module does not seem to have any relation/connection to the starter motor.
Was your problem really that the car didn’t crank (starter motor dead!) or was it rather that it cracked but did not fire up?
