Yes this is my 88 Wolfsburg Automatic.

So what's the best way to check these wires?

(I am not very electrically minded. I do have a volt meter gauge and simple signal checking system. )

The lights are working on the dash, the only thing not working is my Fasten Seatbelt lights but I think that may because the previous owner took out that relay with the buzzer on it. Not sure what part number that is or even what socket that part goes into. Would that have anything to do with it?

When you say PIN 5 on the panel connector are we talking about the thin wiring foil or the fuse area on the back?

Sorry but I think of me a novice when it comes to wiring.

Thanks, David.
