Ok well long story short....his daughter dropped a coin into the cigarette lighter in the car , piped fuse, then pulled a fuse thinking it was a spare and now power to lighter but no start.... [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] She forgot to mention that part ... So the car went to the shop for a $400.00 missing 20a fuse ... What a cluster fk... This is why I charge double if the customer has worked on thier own crap... A fuse can definitely decide weather or not ur car starts [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

So we have done some testing... Found that 12v was going thru new ignition... But not thru the air bag controller? So boss loaded the POS up and took it to VW .... LMBO [emoji23], we just can't wrap our heads around all these Mico switched parts I guess [emoji23]... We tried I guess [emoji43][emoji43][emoji43] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

He may have already done that before I got involved... I can ask him more tomorrow Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Yes that is what we are thinking is going on ... Our electrician/mechanic seems to think it's ignition related somehow ... We can make the starter turn engine over by using my power probe as the ignition signal to starter power and she kicks right over but even with ignition on still no run.

Ok so ignition on jumping starter still results in no running Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

I'll have to check it out I'm not sure... I have not tried to turn ignition on and jump starter but I will test that Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Yeah tried everything... Seatbelt on and all that.... Nada Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Ok so when the key is on all the dash works come to life ... No relay under or behind so near the master cylinder... ?under dash maybe ? Also when u turn key to on position we cannot shift car to any gear ? Is this all saying relay 109 still ... And darn they hid that thing good [emoji23] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Lol.... We're doing the work here at our shop... Bosses daughters car, that said I just haven't found the relay. It will not crank or start unless we run a jumper to starter, then it will bump over just fine. I'll look on the firewall and see what I can find thanks for the details.

What is a BRM .? I know absolutely nothing about VW TDI[emoji23] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Ok here's the rest of the pics I have Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Here's what we have to work with.... I can get I'd plate with vin if needed Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Ok so I have had a little bit of time under the dash... That said I see no relay 109, in fact all I see it 2 460 relays and 153 relay. Starter inhibitor is what our electronic guy thinks is the issue but I haven't had much time to spend ... Thier also thinking the ignition is the issue ? I love German engineering but thier diagrams are totally bs to attemt to read unless that's what u know [emoji23] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Ok so we checked the fusable links ... Everything is good there ... Just took 5 min to check.... Looking into relay next... Might spare 5 min to look that over ... I'll keep ya posted Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

We have a TDI Jetta at the shop.... Bosses daughters car, while driving one day it just stopped running ... Towed to shop and we're finding no power in several places. No ignition power no lights on dash etc... Anyone got an idea of what to test and where that part is would be very helpful I'm not an electric guy... I just build the engine's [emoji23] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
