Oh, I thought of that too... I disconnected the battery and hooked up the leads direct to the car without the battery in place. Sparks... I suspect the following: Alternator has decided to kill itself Starter has decided to kill itself I'll recharge the battery, then unplug both, and go from there. The above might take 6 months - however I did buy a Victron 15 AMP trickle charger, apparently it's better than CTEK? Amazon, delivery by tonight. https://www.amazon.com.au/Victron-Battery-Charger-15-Amp-waterproof/dp/B07P4LMMMD?ref_=ast_sto_dp -
Test actual voltage on battery. It's probably way low and possibly got a shorted cell. Something that might explain everything in your report. -

In other news, my shit box R33 is Gregged. I kid you not, 3 months ago it drove perfectly fine, parked it and it sat on the trickle charger for about 2.5 months. A few weeks ago, noticed the charger stopped working. Oh wells, 15 years out of a CTEK charger, across 3x shit box JDMs (and other dailies) you've done well. Went to try start the car today, nothing. Thought, yeah ok, let's get the jumper leads on. This is where shit escalated lol... Initially popped on the leads and noticed a great deal of sparks, not to worry. Let's triple check shit and try again, yep same. Thought perhaps was just an initial current draw from the 2x audio amplifiers, etc. nope, leads got warm and the fuse box jump point started to GLOW! 🥲 Luckily the Tiguan wasn't on, I can't imagine what Christmas lights combination would have appeared on the dash if the motor was running. Anyhow, hastily gave up and messaged Brett for a laugh, or commiserate whatever you want to call it. Skyline (Shitbox) Lyfe 😂 -
Because they are different -
Yeah swaping them out is not big problem. I've been able to get AliExpress agent to contact the seller and get them to help me fix the problem. They have sent me a factory setting reset file to put on a usb and try that, but the file is .zip with password protect and they haven't give me the password 😒 It sucks i might have to go through AliExpress compliants again just to get them to reply 😵
