Alsace_rangie Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 93 200TDI classic Driving alone in the rain, then heard the radio give it's "turned off beeps", wipers stopped working, electric windows stopped just short of destination. Lights, indicators, rear screen heater, interior lights all working. Checked fuses anyway (all on different circuits) and none broken. Got out of the car, wiggled wires under the bonnet, no change. So gave in, decided to do what I had travelled for and limp home. But getting back into the car, suddenly all came back on. Anyone any idea of a common point for these items?

teabag Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Iffy electrical connection maybe. Did u check the fusible links in the engine bay, some protect the feed to multiple circuits at the dashboard fuse box.

Alsace_rangie Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Any hint where these links are? My manuals are on CD, and my laptop with CD reader is dead. So first job is to get an external box for my other laptop... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alsace_rangie Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 OK, found it. It cut out and I accidentally hit my knee on the steering column. Wipers started. Some time ago I had replace the switch on the back of the ignition, and one of the connections had become a bit loose. The White with red trace, 4mm feed.
