My 1987 carat did this. 4 tow truck rides and 2 mechanics later- the distributor was replaced and all was well.

hello all i have a bit of a question i was driving a 82 vanagon and it shut down....i mean everything..lights ..motor whole thing. i ccoasted to the side and checked the battery connections ..seem fine

where do i go from here?

backround: i currently own a 59 split -69-74-78 bay - and now this 82 vanagon that i just bought yesterday. seemed to have no issues has a new battery alyhough i did put in a new stereo today could a stereo wire shut down a vanagon? after i installed radio i drove for about 1 hour prior to having this problem. i also thought it could be a dead battery for whatever reason...so i tried jumping it with another car and even when i hooked up cables to battery ...nothing. i am wondering if there is like a main fuse or something. mike seattleshapiro@comcast.net
