Subject:      Electrical question re: Jetta conversion ign. coil supply
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


 Hi all.


Gosh I hope I'm not wearing out me "welcome" here..... --- :^)


I'm in the middle of wiring up engine control stuff and not sure how
to get "keyed" supply from 15 of ignition switch to Jetta coil.


1994 Jetta Bentley shows a #12 wire going to coil from 15. 1981
Vanagon Bentley shows #16 or smaller to coil.


Where can I run a proper gauge wire from?


One wire from 15 on ign switch goes to back of S12 then to coil. S12
supplys power to horn, back up lite etc. Should I tap in at the back
of S12 with #12 wire and run it to the back or is there an easier way?


For some reason, I thought I could get "keyed" power from one of the
starter connections, but that is wrong.


Apologies if this has been answered before.


TIA for any help.


Neil.
