Circuit Diagram for '83 Quattro Coupe

Ben, I made that diagram when I was working out the details of a fusebox
swap on the 82 coupe.

In the original file (which is a Visio .vsd I think), to the right of
the diagram every pinout is identified by function and wire color, and
to the right of that is the wire color (almost always the same) and pin
location of the corresponding wire in the underdash fusebox.

I can try to make you a printed copy if you give me your snail mail addy
(again).

The internals of the underdash are easy to figure out.  A lot of the
fuses and relays are connected, barely, to a lot of the pins on the
back.  If in doubt, they are melted, bypass them.  If they aren't
melted, they are corroded.  And if they work for now, be reassured that
the circuit trace is under the needed gauge to work indefinitely.

Don't even get me started on those 19th century fuses and holders...

In other words, I saw no point to analyzing its internals, it's junk, so
why bother?

I once fried an underhood fusebox (don't ask) in  my 90Q, it took a
couple-three hours to swap it out completely.  Much nicer.

More to follow...
