DOZERMAN

So fitted correct ignition , but second plug is not for the one i found with the diode in , fitted it and left second plug hanging . made no difference , fiddled around with fuses etc again , was giving up and tiding stuff away and saw the drl.s on , turned ignition with screwdriver and it started , used it for the last two weekends , then yesterday at the shop , nothing again , so still at a loss and may well give up on it , as time is not something i have plenty of

So on further investigation it has the wrong ignition switch fitted , 4 wire 1 plug , instead of the 6 wire two plugs , the other two wire plug has a diode taped into it under the steering column Battery is good and fully charged , not able to do any other tests as i have no ignition , so cant crank or do any tests on draw on battery , i have ordered correct switch and will see thanks graham

Hi all new to the forum , hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction , electrics is a dark art to me , spanners and hammers i can do 😁 Skoda yeti 1.6 tdi greenline 2011 ,130.000 miles sometimes it would not start . turn key and engine would wind over , glow plug light would flash and it would not start , release key and it will continue to wind over on its own , switch off and allow dash display to power down and 99% of the time it would fire up as normal after ,things got a bit worse recently , just a click from the starter then nothing ,then it would wind over and start , but the rear wiper would go on its own while turning over , also had and air bag light come on , heater control playing up . cold on hot , but then move to cold and back its ok , now we have the initial click of the starter , then its briefly try's to wind over but not enough to fire , battery was a little low so put jump leads of my JCB and tried with no change , tested starter with a hot wire and it wound over no problem , but would not start , checked and cleaned earths leads etc . tried again with jump leads and lost all ignition , nothing at all , all non ignition dependant functions work fine , no obd access just keeps asking for ignition on , did i have BCM problems and have now fried it , checked all fuses , swapped relays , can get ignition lights with power probe on to fuse thats all sitll wont access obd though thanks in advance 👍
