This is going to be difficult to describe; it's really best if you can find another car (any year FI) to look at. The relay has 5 terrminals. 2 terminals on one side have their blades aligned in line. These are the coil (control) terminals. The 2 wires for those should be in a single translucent white connector which pushes onto that relay. Those 2 wires are (grey) and (blue w/yellow stripe.) Of the other 3 terminals, one is a single terminal. That terminal gets a red wire from the fuse box. It should come from the fused side of the fuse that serves ONLY the FI fuel pump. The last 2 terminals are a doubled up terminal. In other words, they are a single piece of brass bent into a U shape so they are electrically the same. There should be a red wire on one of those terminals that joins a brown wire and then they both go out thru a grommed in the firewall and to the fuel pump. If your car is a 70 or later AT, then another red wire connects to the second terminal here and runs back to the electrically heated AT aux air regulator on the engine. The wire for this function is also present in MT cars, but was cut off at the factory back at the engine end. > Also I need to get the master cylinder replaced or rebuilt and the > pedals replaced or rebuilt, they are in bad shape.

The pedal assemblies changed a few times, so it will depend on your year. Beetle pedals were also the same, but you still have to make sure you get the right one. I have sometimes knocked out the retaining pins in the pedal assemblies and taken them completely apart. If you do this, you can also drill some holes and install a Zerk fitting to allow for future lubrication. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
