Audi A4 - Very, very dead A4 - nic50327
I need some advice please.

My 97 A4 is very very dead, not only will it not start, the alarm is dead, the central locking is dead, the instrument lights are dead, even the clock is dead.

The battery is less than a year old and prior to today it has been starting without any issues in the cold. I have tried jump starting it but this didn't work either, still not lights on the instrument panel.

Please give me some ideas what it might be.

Cheers

I suggest you have a broken cable or a failed earth wire,measure the voltage of the battery if you have12v then something should light up regardless.
