Hi,after washing my car i used hose to remove salt etc. from underneath including wheel arches,i also hosed in engine bay to get rid of leaves which were blocking drainholes.Then with 12 volt tyre inflator i started to inflate the tyres(3 needed 0.2bars,and 1 tyre only 0.1bar),after infating 3 tyres the compressor stopped on the last tyre,i used my footpump instead.The next morning i went to change the fuse(s) controlling the 3 12volt sockets,only to find that the fuses had not blown.I then started the engine,so as to clear the front and rear screens of frost.Straight away i knew that the heater was not
working+eveything else was n/w including air-con etc.Then when i got out of the Touran,and with the engine still running i could see that the lights were
on including the dipped headlights,also all 4 tail lights were on.Nothing on the circular light switch now works including the front fog-lights,also the rear red
fog light does not work and with the engine running the rad,fan is "going flat out". I checked out all of the fuses inside the car and inside the fuse-box in
the engine bay,all were OK. After checking everything out,the only function not operating was the front wipers,even though the front screen washers
were still working.Next i removed the Neg lead from the battery terminal,after about 20 minutes i refitted the battery lead.All of the electrical faults were
still there,to re-cap:headlights on when ignition key turned;light switch n/w;front & rear fog-lights n/w;none of the heater functions were working;the front
wiper blades were not working;with the engine running, fan on continually.No warning symbols are being displayed once the engine is started.I am a 68 year old retired haulage contractor,and still like to help maintain our vehicles. I live some 19 miles from the nearest VW garage,and without heater and wipers,and with the front w/screen now frozen inside and out,i am now unable to proceed any further.Please can you help,has anyone else experienced
these electrical problems.Regards,Geoff.Elliott.
