No, the starter is a BIG load, but it should still handle a small load like the interior light with ease. > And further, how would this explain the fact that it has "died before" then > came back to like in the matter of hours, without me doing anything?

There is no single fuse that connects all the things you mentioned and there is no chance that you had multiple identical fuse problems all at the same time, anyway. Besides, many of these things are not on ANY fuse. > Regardless, I will charge up my battery up anyway. Can't hurt, but your problem is still bound to be either a bad connection in a place that serves the whole car, or a defective battery. A voltmeter would pinpoint this in an instant. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
