Newbie, first post. Didn't know where else to put this so dropping it here in hopes it can be put in the correct location. Thank ya.
EDIT: Found the correct place for it but don't know how to delete it here. Recreated it in the Mk4 section.

Hey folks - one day during the rain, I had 4 things stop all at once on my car while I was driving it on the interstate:

:confused: Wipers
:confused: Headlights
:confused: Turn Signals
:confused: HVAC Fan blower

Everything else works great - just those 4 went dead simultaneously.

When I went digging on the internet, apparently the power distribution box on top of the battery is famous for melting down on '02 and prior Bugs, but my '03 is fine. Like brand-new fine. There's power on all of the lugs and none are burnt out. No corrosion, again like-new there.

Fuses all check out too.

Guessing there's a master relay somewhere in between the battery and those 4 particular fuses, at least I'm hoping there is.

Took it to a garage, they couldn't find it either but they're also not VW-specific so I guess this is one for the pros [you guys]. Got a new battery while I was there.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
