I have a VW convertible beetle that was working fine. I got home and parked the car. to make sure all the windows were rolled up I pulled up the window switch to roll up all the windows (all the windows were already up I just wanted to double check). right when I pulled up on the switch the car shut off. I turn the key and there is no sign of any electricity going to the car. It's like the car isn't acknowledging I am turning the key. I know the battery isn't drained because of the hazards and the clock still works. But when I turn the key the dash lights, windows, A/C won't turn on and the car won't crank. I am wondering what the problem is and why it shut off when the windows were tried to roll up when already rolled up. I am thinking there is a connection from the battery to the ignition switch that is not working but I am not sure. From my understanding there is an ignition relay that is between the battery and the ignition switch. I have checked the relay and it still works. I do have an external wire going straight from the battery to the ignition relay to pin 30. because there was no power going to that pin in a prior problem.
I am wondering what the problem is and how to fix it.
