Hi
My timing belt got broke. So we pushed car to my garage. It stayed there a week. i had to take out battery to put it in the other car. After a week I put battery back. And nothing works. No lights, completely nothing. Even after timing belt broke and we were pushing it, the power was ok, lights were on. What might be cause of that?? HELP ME PLEASE !!! |

yeah check your battery connections make sure they are tight at both
the battery and the other ends,also look for chaffed or broken wires around the battery and around the starter |

I would take a voltmeter to the car. You can buy a digital multimeter for fairly low prices these days. $30 easily almost any day. $10 on sale at times. Start by measuring the voltage across the battery. Then touch the black lead to a chassis ground, and make sure you still have about 12 volts to the positive terminal of the battery. Then move to the fuse area etc. |

In older VW's ( like my old '89 Rabbit) there is a diode (sp) on the
back of the instrument cluster...if this blows, everything goes dead. |
