Re: All Electronics broken!!! Help

It after multiple BS returns, with the repair shop. (replaced battery, grounds and others) ended up being the ignition. They had to replace the key ignition. It supposedly was from the weight of the keys that wears it out. Regardless the fact that I only had 1 key and a caribiner on the key ring. And since everything goes thru this module for the cars ignition.... it caused all of the random issues. I don't doubt this aspect. But I guarantee it was because they were not a caddie shop and did not properly discharge the battery and power, since just unhooking the battery is not enough............. You have to unhook the battery and then press the brake for 30 secs or so to discharge all power from components, only learned myself after. Serves me right for using a warranty instead of just fixing myself like usual.

All in all they replaced this part....perhaps I can look the part number up when I get home as I am stuck in Bolzano, Italy on a business trip right now. It is working some what as it should. I say this cause I still randomly get stupid electronic issues but no where near the amount I did in the past. The car is gone this fall hopefully.

Perhaps I will update this with more details once I get back to the states and have more time. I am sorry.
