Hey guys, I'm hoping for a brainstorming session with you all while I cool down. This may be a little windy, but I'm down in the dumps and venting. Haha
My 2 yr old son had an appointment with a photographer this evening, and he insisted on taking "daddy's orange car". Weather was cloudy, but I figured it wouldn't amount to anything that couldn't be solved with a basic cleaning when we got home. Wrong. His pics went fine, we start heading home and it's a downpour. I'm talking water standing on the road, creep down the road type of rain. I make it back to the house and decided to shut it off in the driveway so my wife and son can go in the house and I'd get his car seat out. Went back out to pull it into the garage, and there's absolutely nothing. The battery is new, but just to rule it out, I hooked a fully charged jump box up to it and there was still no power at all. It was still raining hard, so I came inside for a few minutes, then went back out and checked the fuse box under the dash and all fuses were fine. Dejected, I now sit on the couch. I always keep it in the garage and spotless, now it's stranded outside until I get this figured out. The battery is relocated to the trunk, so my next plan will be to look for a fuse in the cable.
Any other ideas? This is so depressing, my trip to the Nats Saturday really sparked my passion again, now this.
