After Matt and I got back from the cruise, I decided to take a nap. Matt comes in and says, I know you're not going to spend all day in bed so let's try to fix your instrument cluster/charging issue. So I start UN-screwing pieces of the dash, while Matt is reading to me what I need to do. We get the instrument cluster out and discover there is giant mouse nest underneath the cluster. I start to touch it, because I deal with this chit (literally) every day at work. Matt says, "What are doing? Come in the house and wash your hands...don't touch anything." So, after washing my hands he tells me that I could have gotten the hantavirus...
Anyway So we check the wire from the ignition, GOOD getting the same voltage as the battery. Check the ground that was good too, so we move onto the voltage regular, no current. So we went online to discover the part we need, the company is now caput. We found one that will work according to vwvortex and will hopefully solve the problem. Hoping to get it soon!
I'll keep you posted.
