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! |

Still sounds groundy. Multimeter. Power to the switch panel? We could only wish a fuse is blown.

A guy here at the show knows electrical systems and is going to help me.
Thanks for the suggestions. Should be something easy once found. |

Ended up removing both battery leads, tightening the clamping bolts, reinstalling and that seems to have fixed the issue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
I made it home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks to those who chimed in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
