glad you're bright where it should be again ! We tend to think about the power side of DC circuits, but the ground path is equally important, obviously.

VW tends to underbuild on the ground side IMO. I doubt you'd see push-on spade connectors for headlight grounds on an older Mercedes for example. After 25+ years of conducting ... push-on spacd connectors are bound to get weak.

As always, it was just a blockage or a leakage of fluids or electrons.
