    Electrical fault. Help please!!

    Hi folks. Out of the blue tonight, after I'd stopped briefly at a shop I find that most of the electrical system has stopped working. I have no wipers, headlights, indicators, rear de-mist, horn, interior fan, fog lights etc etc. I do have side lights, stereo, hazards... and that's about it!!

    All fuses seem fine. What the **** is going on???

    Help please.

    I'd also like to add that it cuts out intermittently - perhaps once a week. This time though - it coincided with the above major electrics fault.

      Could be igniton, I remember getting a million fails on the MOT once becuase the ignition swich was playing up. Dont know the solution, the garages fixed it but might help you trace it.

        2nded - Ignition switch is a very likely candidate... Not uncommon as root cause for some B3/B4 crazy electrics.

          Yep - Ignition it is. Obvious really as none of those electrical items are working. Thankfully Steve has a spare.

          Cheers folks.
