We just got our used Vanagon, and = are pretty poor mechanics to begin with. We're trying to fix some things ourselves, = but have no idea what's up with a recent problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

We returned from a trip (no problems = on the road), shut everything down and found two weeks later that we could not = start the Vanagon. The engine does not turn over and we get no starter sound whatsoever. We cannot turn on anything electrical - no headlights, no = small lights, nothing. Our first thought was that the battery had discharged, = but our battery charger says it is fully charged. It is a relatively new battery = (6 months, rarely used) and all connections are uncorroded and look very = good at the battery end. I don't know if there is a 'main fuse' that we can = check. As we have no powered items whatsoever, does it mean that some important = electrical cable is loose or faulty?
