Default Relay for MkII Golf GTI 1990 - 05-18-2005 , 11:36 AM






Hello, I have a GOLF GTI MKII 1990, the electrical systems seems to be
having problems, the Rev counter ,fog lights, rear wiper and computer
selector don't work (the clock on the multifunction display works fine).
No fuses are blown in the main fuse box, however I'm unable to locate a
relay that would cover all that lot.The picture of the relays in the Haynes
manual isn't the one I have. Can anybody help please !

There's not one relay that does all of that.

The fog lights and rev counter are probably a separate issues.
These may be due to one of the chassis ground points coming adrift.
Also check that the instrument panel connector is properly seated.
If the latter is not seated properly, then it could also explain the
MFA problem.

Check the wiring harness from the wiper stalk through to the
connector on the steering column. If you have a multimeter, unplug
the connectors at the column and check that the switches are all
working. If any of the stalk switches are faulty, you have to
replace the stalk.

You can "simulate" the various stalk functions using short lengths
of wire to bridge appropriate connections; but CAREFULLY check the
connections first with a multimeter and the ignition on. Bridging
the connections should confirm that the rest of the harness is OK.

There's no relay between the power and the dash instr., only the starter
switch. The clock runs on continious power from the battery. Look for bad
connections on one of the two connectors on the instr. panel.
