So far, we've had a bunch of speculation about fuses, some talk of sensors & no results.
Start from the top & systematically eliminate all possibilities - its problem solving 101.
<li>You have checked all fuses yes? Even the big ones that dont look like fuses in the engine bay fuse box?
<li>If it is not a fuse, then it will be a sensor. As mentioned above, check your ECU error codes:
* See here for 'how to' -> http://www.ftowa.com/html/workshop/workshopart07.html
* See here for explanation of codes -> http://www.ftoaustralia.com/modules.php ... ic&t=14667
<li>If its not a fuse & not a sensor, then its going to be something out of left field thats related to the electronics, such as melted wiring. In which case we will need to get out the multimetre & again strat problem solving 101. Ie, is there a charge going from the battery to the starter? If no, we need to check that wire etc.
