You really just need to get in there with a voltmeter or a test light to verify that you are getting 12V to the right places at the right time. Just clip the black lead of your voltmeter or test light to ground and use the other end to probe around and see what you've got. I realize you are probably not familiar with this kind of troubleshooting, but this is a reasonable time to get started. You're just looking to see if there is 12V there or not. You should get 12V on the output side of the relay under the back seat any time the key is ON. You should see 12V on the output side of the relay under the dash for about 1 second after you turn the key ON. In general, you can tell if a relay is getting energized by just hearing or feeling it click. Work from the source to the end, verifying each link in the chain as you go. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
