2008 GT turbo, VIN: WVWFV71K88W330692, Body Type: "2.0 200HP 6S DSG".
I let it sit in the driveway for a year with the battery removed. Today I put in a fully charged battery and now if I turn the key it's as if the starter is not installed. Just nothing.
The dashboard lights come on when I turn the key to the RUN position, and DRL shows on the speedometer.
If I turn the key to RUN and step on the brake I can not take it out of Park.
I tried turning on the key and plugged in a scanner. It said, "Communicating with vehicle, please wait..." then after a spell it said "OPERATION ERROR Check Connection".
Is there some kind of initialization sequence I should do after installing the battery?
If not, I suppose I have wiring damage somewhere. Ya think?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Blessings to you all ~
