5kcs #12 fuse

[Peter McConnel]

greetings audi sleuths...

this problem is driving me nuts! I cant start the car with out blowing the
#12 fuse. cant even turn the ignition key on. checked the wires coming out
of the trunk tube, and fixed some cracked coating, but still blowing the
fuse as soon as the key gets to the on position.

co-incidentally the alternator stopped charging the battery at the same time
this occurred...

any BTDT's??

thanks alot,
