20 Most Recent 1996 Volkswagen Jetta - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Colors don't always match because sometimes manufacturers run out of a specific colored wire. When this happens, they put a different color but same gauge.
I recommend you find a wiring diagram and look for the pin connector / location of the accessory wire you want.

I would check to see if you are getting power to the small wire on the starter solenoid when you turn the key to the starting postion. If you do, the starter is bad. If not, you probably have a bad ignition switch.

check flasher unit under dash

Can you not lock it with a non alarm key? My polo locked that way, it had the transponder chip to disarm the immobiliser but would not arm the alarm

COULD IT BE THE FUSE BOX? IF THE CAR RUNS WITH THIS ALARM ON, i WOULD SILENCE THE EMITTER/SIREN.

94-early 99 model jettas. I think golfs will work also (plugs are same and they look right, but I have not tried mine yet).

What is the fuel pump pressure? When you put the throttle down, there is not enough fuel to match the air inlet and it dies.

There are a number of possible fluids that you're seeing. The three below are the most likely (less likely is refrigerant oil - if your car has air conditioning and windshield washer fluid. It could be condensate if you have air conditioning and are using it- but that is simple water and would evaporate). The fluid you're seeing is probably leaking from a point above the guard and running down the side of the engine block and dripping on the guard - where it eventually pools and drips on the pavement. Make sure the oil filler cover, dipsticks for oil and transmission fluid are secured properly.You should check the current levels of motor oil, transmission fluid and coolant. This should be done on a level surface and in the case of coolant - only after the engine has cooled for a couple of hours if there is none visible in the reservoir. All of these fluids are difficult to identify just by looking at them on pavement. You should try blotting the stain on the pavement (or touching a drip with it on the underside of the car) with a white or light colored paper towel or napkin to see what color the fluid is. Coolant is available in different colors - either a yellow - green and pink. Transmission fluid is pinkish - red when new but turns more reddish - brown the longer it has been since it has been flushed & replaced. Motor oil starts out golden color, and quickly gets darker as it is exposed to heat from the engine and suspending of dirt particles, etc.Aside of crawling around and looking under the car for the source of the leak, a trip to a Jiffy Lube (or similar service provider that either lifts the vehicle aloft or services the vehicle from a pit underneath) will be the easiest way to determine where the leak is - but you should tell the technician that you are finding puddles under you car in the driveway - do that he can actively look for it while working on the undercarriage of the car. Bringing your paper towel witht he stain on it will allow him to identify the fluid.

Voyager ignition key in the ignition look under the dash there should be a little red button its just small small micro switch that should be the disabler you turn the ignition on with the button in okay now you disconnect the battery to charge it and once fully charge then you can go ahead and play with the alarm circuit but I've found if you take the ignition key put it in the drivers door you unlock the key and you hit the unlock button you lock the key and you hit the lock button then you unlock it but

OF COURSE NOT. A SENSOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INDICATION

EXACT PART NUMBER AND NEEDS TO BE CODED CORRECTLY OR U WILL GET FAULTY INDICATIONS AT THE SPEEDOMETER.....

Google

it's on the fuse box/pad, a silver octagonal box about 3/4" x 1/2". That's the " Blinker".

Had the same problem on a customers VW. checked codes, not any. so I started at the air cleaner. it was in bad shape, I replaced it checked for vacuum leaks and the PCV hose was split. I repaired it. test drove to confirm fix and gave it back to the coustomer repaired. Also if it has over 100,000 miles might need an I A C valve cleaning.

I don't work on this particular vehicle but there are some things that are common to all fuel injected engines that you can check for. Other than the typical tune up issues of spark plugs, wires, fuel filters, fuel pressure, fuel injectors, etc, there can be issues with improper fuel trim ( Fuel trim is the air to fuel ratio ). Some things you can check that can make this go out of the range that the ECM can adjust to to keep the ratio correct are: Dirty air cleaner. Dirty or damaged Mass Airflow sensor (or equivalent). A dirt throttle body. If your engine has an idle air control valve that could be what is not working properly or not work effectively because of dirt in the throttle body and its passageways. Do you have any vacuum leaks, split or cracked vacuum hoses, vacuum hoses that have fallen off? Vacuum leaks can make the ECM think the engine is under load and it will actually richen the fuel mixture. When the temps are mild a richer mixture may not stall the engine at idle but at higher temps your engine my experience a fuel flooding condition causing a stall. Another thing to check for is engine timing. Just make sure that if you set it you use the proper procedure. The ECM adjusts timing so it's likely you will have to do something to override that to take accurate timing readings and make the correct adjustments. I am sure there are more possibilities, worn out or inaccurate sensors or sensors that need adjustment. There is also an Exhaust Gas Recirculation system ( EGR) that its malfunction can cause stalling at idle too. It's not a simple subject.

Hi. There is a line on the casing under the distributer cap.
