The wires that are already there are fine, but I still recommend that you just replace the switch rather than start hacking up the OE wires. > They must go to an existing relay ? , cause they are not that > heavy. Turning the key simply connect a hot terminal to one of > those wires? There is some advantage to adding a relay that was not originally there. This relay eliminates the voltage drop associated with the long wire run up to the front of the car and back to the starter. This relay is usually mounted on the side of the transmission and the only new wiring needed is back there between it and the starter. The fact that you asked this question in the beginning, however, tells us that you probably don't know enough to do this installation without some help. It's not complicated, but it does require some basic understanding of electricity and of automotive electrical systems. We just don't want you to come back to us saying that you tried it and now all the wires in your dash have burnt to a chrisp! 8<0 - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
