Good to hear you found the problem. Reminds me, I need a battery for the Jimmy.
While you have the starter out, you should have it load tested anyway, just to make sure it is 100%. If your luck is anything mine, you'll put it back together and it will pack in next week and you'll have to do it all over again. :roll:
batteries really dont keep well in the cold i guess
especially when they are left on a concrete floor :shock:
Yeah i know about the floor.. does it in!
Now Im going over the rest of the wires, Seems there are a few things not working. Fuel cut off, wipers, starter, glow plugs were on a switch to a old school looking relay..now 4 prong.. wires were falling off in my hand!
winters a goodtime to just freeze an fix most of the connections!
So is the fuel cut off solnoid only suppose to have power when the switch is in on pos? I do beleave I just fixed it right before I came in but I gotta get somemore diesel to test her out! Power at the red/blk when key is on and none when its off...correct?
Correct red/black is switched power. Make sure the stop solenoid also has power when the car is cranking
thanks everyone for your in-put
I coulnd have figured it out without you... Now I know and will be able to help others...
thanks alot again everyone...Now i need to figure out this Glow relay BS
In the meantime i rigged them on a 4 prong but its not what VW intended I just dont really understand this diagram because the seatbelt relay and such are tired into it!
I understand wiring with few wires but once it gets all crissy crossy im f'd
