Dashboard dead, no ignition

Featured Replies

Hello, 

 

I've been here new, so I will go just direct to the problem. 

I have Skoda superb 2011 103kw 2.0tdi 4x4, in the evening engine was working, and I fueled up my car, came home, parked my car. Next morning I have come to my car, it opened, lights was working inside/outside, warning lights work too. Doesn't work radio, fan, wipers. When I try to put key on ignition position or to start my car, the dashboard is dead, and engine doesn't start. Battery is brand new. Changed the ignition switch (thinked it was there problem) but it didint helped, still car is dead, and ignition doesn't turn on. First tryed to start engine with spare key, but the situation was same, dashboard dead, radio dead, no ignition, no fan. Lights inside working, outside too, car is closing and opening. I don't know where to look for a problem. Would appreciate for all ideas or any help. Thank you guys! 

check fuses in the engine bay fuse box. look for water ingress there too.

Check battery voltage

 

Always check the last thing changed - as battery is brand new I'd start there. Presuming battery voltage is ok (check first) check any thing disturbed during battery replacement eg battery terminals and ensure the other end of these cables are sound and secure (I've known disturbed earth wires etc to cause issues)
