In the Haynes diagram, the fuse that blows is no. 8. One side of it goes to terminal 30 on the hazard warning light switch, while the other goes to terminal B+ on the voltage regulator, and thence to the battery. It is an 8 amp fuse. > > There should be NO fuse in the starter line. I don't know what VW expected > to protect that line, but they didn't provide a fuse for that.

The starter draws a LOT of current for a brief moment, then it drops to > just a lot of current. It's never really given any trouble up to now, and all I changed was the routing of a couple of wires. Also, as I said, each time I changed the fuse, everything seemed to work again for the rest of the day.
