that's my problem set! Sitting in a carpark taking off the kickpanel to check for bad relays. Any ideas from the Allroad braintrust?

Thanks heaps in advance.

Jostled relay 372, now can access 01-Engine (no faults), clicking now only happens during...

When the key is in the starting position. Hrm. Still no start. A bad relay methinks.

Plan for repair: This is the fuel relay, will purchase and replace, hope it's not the pump.

I thought I was on blogs.audiword.com/allroad... did I used the wrong shortcut?

I keed. I just figured if someone was going to reply with what I already knew, I'd save them the trouble.

What a PITA. I was leaving happy hour last night, cut through the parking lot next to Chipotle, and just as I hit 28th, *bam*, all power lost. I was able to coast almost all the way back into the 29th street complex, but I did need to push a bit in my M-F work clothes.
