Summary

"techline summary article - do you have a vehicle in your shop for any or all of these issues? • the b5 (7.5 a) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box is blown. • the engine cranks, but it won’t start. • the engine starts, then it stops. • the instrument panel is blank. • the rearview mirror won’t automatically dim. We’re aware of these issues, and we currently have them under investigation. One common problem that can cause any one of them is damage in the roof wire harness. Unplug the connector from the rearview mirror, carefully pull back the harness sheathing, and check if any of the wires are cut or are pulled out from the connector. If so, replace the harness."
