Well I was going to make some noise but I figured out my problem. As some
might know my 91 jetta TD was having GP issues as in it wouldn't start but
then it would start. I was getting only 10vdc to the GP fuse and then I
wasn't getting any voltage to the fuse, I checked the relay it was good, got
another relay same thing. At times the car started fine and then it wouldn't
but the cold start cable would help with the start. Then came yesterday it
wouldn't start at all. Checked the IP and it was getting 12vdc. Checked but
no start. Put the battery on to charge since I wore it down, came back 5
hours later and had my wife turn on the GP while I made sure I had a good
contact with the multi meter leads and again 10vdc. So I tried to start it
and it worked. Ok problem seemed to be fixed, I thought I found a loose
wire on the IP and so I tightened it up. Then comes this morning, no start
and late to work. Came home after work and started from scratch. Everything
looked good but no voltage to the GP fuse. Figured I would just pull the
fuse and clean up the contacts and the fuse fell apart on me. Put in new
fuse and PRESTO. 12vdc to the fuse. Seems I was checking the wrong side of
the GP fuse, the GP side and not the relay side, why? I don't know but feel
really stupid now. But glad it was something simple. Next time it will be a
simple fuse removal to make sure it is good and not just a visual. Live and
learn. So I saved a ton of questions for everyone. Val has been working
with me in the past and I had him spun up but as you can tell I got it by
myself. So while I was under the hood I installed the headlight relay setup
that I got from Roger, now to see what a difference it made driving to work
tomorrow. With the headlight switch issue I have been having with the
parking lights are not always on when the headlights are on I figured the
headlight relay couldn't hurt.

Rugrat!
It seems to get quiet early every Fall and some time
in the Spring. When we all seem to get busy either with
work or projects before the next big "season."
