Looks like the wire from the solenoid goes to the connector on the back of the engine pictured here:  http://www.pbase.com/kneale_brownson/image/96127260
   
  Anyone know which of the wires from the connector goes to the ignition switch?  I really hate poking wires with test lights.
   
  Can I take the connector apart and test on the internal connections?  Or will opening this connector result in an even worse mess???

  I've determined the wiring to the shutoff solenoid on the injection pump of my '94 Jetta TD is not working. I can start the car using a jumper from the battery.

Anyone know where the solenoid gets its power from? I know the ignition switch is supposed to supply 12 volts to the solenoid, but through what pathway? 

Can I safely run the car with the solenoid jumpered directly to the battery?
