Washed my TTA last week (about 5 days ago) and as I have had my TTA sitting for a while my battery was week but started fine so I pulled it out washed it and put it back then took the battery out and charged it full over night and put it back in the car the day after but did not attempt to start it then.
The other day (Friday so car only been sitting for 3 days after charching the battery) I tried starting it and all electrical worked, fuel pump came on like usual and then the starter just move and clicked (never had any problem with my light weigh started I installed about 2 1/2" years ago) and all power died at the same time .... then about 1 minute later I had all power back and attempted starting it again and you guessed it same thing again on click on the starter (sounds like it get's stuck without turning) and lost all power again .... power back in about 1 min or so.
The VATS system do have a power cut to the starter for about 2 min but this only cuts the starter relay and not all power in the car so something else is weird .. never had this problem before and I know all my connections are good everywhere.
Any suggestions? Battery? Starter (again)?
