11 volts is a bit low should be bout 12.4 with the car off...have you also tried to hit the dash over the heater controls. then start it or hold the key to start pos. then hit the dash and then you will know if it is that.

my mates got that problem one ED I6 and EF XR8..

Which module is the smartlock? The orange one? The only Green and yellow Wires I can see is one for the radio and one for the glovebox light

Had same issue once & fuses looked fine.
Replaced some and it fixed the problem.

grab a test light and test the fuses that way, but im pretty sure itll be that wire. altho i have a green/yellow floating around in mine but my car still starts? but ef might be different, they might have tapped into the loom back a bit, who knows
