This is my first message, so I'm green. I have an electical problem in that a whole bank of accessories have stopped working. Both heater blower motors, wipers, both window washer motors, have stopped working all at the same. And perhaps a few others on that trunk. I have studied the Bently manual electrical diagram until I'm confused and blind.
I have limited knowledge on how to solve this problem and don't know where to start. Any help you can give me would be very appreciated.
Kind regards,
Steve VW |

There is a relay on top of the fuse box (one of several) that reduces the amperage going thru the ignition switch. Current reduction relay, maybe? When you turn on the ignition switch, it energizes the coil, which closes contacts between hot all the time wires and the ones you mentioned in the fuse box. Probably this relay is not working right. Either bad contacts (likely) or bad coil.
Be careful, you can put a relay into the wrong socket Keeep track of where they go.
Yeah, I have trouble with the current track type diagrams, too. And I'm a Master Electrician.

It most certainly was an exasperating experience Al--
I woulda waiting till morning rather than screw around with them tow lights & funky wiring--
Phooey--
But it was a good meeting of the minds happening---and is still worth a chuckle, now and then-- ~ 8 )_ |
