FW: THERMO TIME SWITCH

[dougev <dougev@newpig3.newpig.com>]

Quattro experts,

	For the last month I have been trying to get the TT switch to work in 
my 85  4KQ.
To complicate things the instructions given from Bentley have the TT 
switch located on the radiator hose flange going into the front of the 
engine...I was tipped of that the TT switch is on the rear of the head 
in-between the engine and the firewall....and it sure looks like the 
correct sensor based on the number of wires (3) and the colors going to 
it.    My problem now is that I am not getting any voltage to the  TT 
switch or the cold start valve when I crank the motor over.  (I think 
the same hot wire goes to both parts...with the ground connection from 
the cold start valve coming over to the TT switch  as the second 
connection on the TT switch)   
	Can anyone give me some suggestion as to where I should look next?  
	Can I just set up a hot wire to the two units and control it from 
inside the car with an on off switch?
	Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
	Please answer directly to my email address below.
