I've been away for work and got a call from my wife that her trusty wagon died while driving, and she had to be pushed to the curb.

I'm back in town and heading over to where the car quit to have a look. I will check the fuse next to the battery and the board connection in the passenger footwell (we've had issues here before). Also might try jumpering the fuses to test the fuel pump (if I can remember the procedure). I'm not sure how to test the alternator or check if the timing belt might have perished - as I am going to be working solo on this one.

Any thoughts or ideas are much appreciated. We need to get this wagon back in service ASAP.

Kind regards,

Aaron
