I am in trouble here guys.
I have been cleaning up my bay and I put a resistor on the plug for the evap valve so I could delete the charchol canister. Now my car wont start. I have returned all electrics to stock.
On ignition almost all warning lights come on and there is a loud clicking from the fuse box. Next click and the starter motor moves once and everything goes of lights etc and engine and starter goes dead.
What has happened, have I blown a fuse or done something worse?
Any help appriciated guys.

Re: Urgent! Car wont start Electrical Problems
ha ha thanks Alex. I did find out that it was partly the problem (car not starting doh) but I seem to have given the car some errors and lights on the dash but nothing I cant sort with VAGCOM.
Next time I am in Poole I am going to try and get along to a TidyVag Meet. Its my round mate
