Drove to a VW show this morning and when I turned the car off to set up my booth, would not restart.
All electrical is dead but battery shows over 12v. When key is turned in ignition, none of the gauges register although the fuel gauge does move a bit. Lights do not work. Hazards do not work. Fuel pump not working (is on a switch) Any ideas where to start looking? Thanks! |

First thing, clean and tighten battery terminals. Gotta do what is quickest first in this situation. Grounds. Hoping you get lucky before you have to break out the multimeter.
Could be ignition switch, but that usually fails on crank (starting only). |
