Sorry to upset you with my preachiness about using the search function, Rene. Since you are not new to forums, you have no doubt noticed that sometimes an unintentional tone sometimes shows up in a member's post - one that they didn't put there on purpose when they wrote it but somehow showed up when they read it.

Anyway, I was just trying to help you solve your problem, which mirrored the one I recently had in every detail. I did in fact read the thread a couple of times before posting, actually. Since most people (myself included) are initially unaware that there is a second fuse box in the engine bay, I went ahead and second-guessed the intimacy of your knowledge of the complex electrical systems in the VX and made a suggestion that was intended to help.

And that suggestion could help even if you knew about the engine bay fuse box and checked the ToD system fuse - the symptoms you described are indicative of a lack of power supply to the ToD controller, so if it isn't the fuse, then it could be the wires. Sorry if that counts as cause for offense.

I'll keep any further helpful suggestions to myself, in the interest of friendly forum relations...
