4444 and still no start

[Alex Kowalski]

Hi Kent,

Isn't this the problem that once strangely fixed itself?  Maybe an intermittent
short in the ECU harness? 

FWIW, if you know someone with a VAG-COM, these are the five-digit codes corresponding to the 4332 blink code (from Ned Ritchie's website): 

4332 Ignition output 
00609 output 1 
00610 output 2 
00611 output 3

Also, are all of your fuses OK?

HTH,
Alex Kowalski
