Unlike a lot of other threads, mentioning lack of fuse 44 my D3 has one. Should have checked first before rooting around under the passenger carpet to discover mine is not there like in this post. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....46&postcount=6
Anyway fuse was good, so now I am going to check the ground connection. Interestingly I removed the drivers side sill trim to get access to the grounds and now the car will not start either, and the starter is on the same ground point.
Another observation, with fuse 44 removed, I get 12V on one side of the fuse, and the voltage from the solar roof feeding back on the other side.
Another observation, with fuse 44 removed, the solar function of the fan continues to work and the fan spins.
