Hi to all at the forum, i have an old K reg passat cl with a strange electrical fault. The car will run ok for a few days then whilst driving, suddenly cut out. when i try to restart, the engine will still turn over, however all ignition electrics go off ie oil light, battery light, no indicators (hazards will still work) I suspected the ignition switch, so i connected a switch in parallel with it, when it cut out again, i flicked the switch but still no dash lights. After about an hour, the dash lights will come back on and the engine will fire up. I also tried pulling relays with ignition switch on, to see if the dash lights would go out and maybe that relay was intermittently faulty, but no luck, the dash lights stayed on. If anyone has had a similar problem or knows what the fault is please let me know as i'm going crazy with this fault.
