[urq] No crank

[Mike Del Tergo]

Hi Rob,

Long time!  Mirror is not the switch (at least not solely) as I have no power into the switch on the Rd/Bl wire and the fuse is OK.  I tracked The door harness to its connector and wasn't immediately able to track it to power.  In fact the mirror fuse is tucked up in the "alternate" panel and it only had power out not power into the fuse!  So my mirrors hav been running from somewhere else for nearly 20 years of my ownership!  So I decided to button it up as I wanted to go to a car show tomorow of course!  I would suspect the ignition switch if it were dodgy before failure but it was not.  Also to switch powers up the load reduction relay on the "start" position so I'm thinking I dislocated something.  I have the factory wiring for all years of UrQs but they really don't help  here as the factory jumpered and commingled so many power sources that it is a nightmare.  I have put a remote starter wiring switch between the solonoid and +from the alternator to get the car running but would welcome and starting points to find the proper lead to the starter solonoid before I waste a whole day checking for continuity between the solonoid wire and any one of a hundred behind the fuse block. In digging around the "alternative fuse" block above the usual suspects, I also found a fuse holder with a fuse inserted but no wires at all going in or out of the fuse!

Mike

Ignition switch to load reduction relay and all lights on, but no starter cranking. Car has been just fine till now. Actually in almost 20 years the only no crank I have hd was with a dead battery. What if anything did I disturb in the rats nest Audi calls a fuse block?
