I'm a newbie with VW repair and maintenance, but getting better. Would love any and all thoughts on a problem I have with my fuel pump. I can't seem to get my fuel pump to do the one sec prime when the key is in the run position. Fuel pump runs when jumped with 12v. I tested my wires (Relay to Fuel Pump) with a multimeter, and the output from the relay box to the fuel pump is reading .10 on the multimeter for the 1sec duration when the key is on the run position. When the engine starts I'm getting 12v. I've swapped out my relays and tested another ECU. The wiring seems intact. Today I removed the steering column cover to check the key lock mechanism (ignition switch?). I was told that this mechanism is signaling to the ECU. When I pulled out the connector behind the key lock, this is what I saw: http://goo.gl/bgLcy Is it possible to jump these wires in order to test to see if the key lock mechanism is broken? If it is broken, perhaps it's not signaling correctly to the ECU. But then again, maybe I'm completely off base here. Please help. I'm at a loss. Greetings from Austin, Texas. +nirav |
