I'm sorry, but I have to chuckle at this one... a GTI ?? VW ???? you say....
as IF there were not enough relays to begin with !!!!! ( realys/ cables,
cable operated relay? relay operated cables ?? VW's...... <G> ah never
mind,,, we've all owned a vw at one time or another )
Try this.... disconnect the + cable from the battery, get out your
handy-dandy VOM and stick one end on the + batt terminal, and then go down
the line with the other probe at the fuses & relays... if something is
"leaking " - shorted, it will try to draw pwr & you should get a reading.
Then you can go through the rest of the circuit from there.
Good luck !
