1996 VW Jetta electrical problem

The diagram of timing marks for VW 1994 jetta 2.0 GL

You vehicle works off a standard ignition key which links to a electrical ignition switch. The wire from the switch goes to the starter solenoid. That wire has a fusable link which operates like a fuse. If to many amps surge through this wire it will melt down inside the insulation. The insulation will not melt away causing a headache to most novice mechcanics. Pull on the solenoid wire a few inches away from the solenoid and see if it stretches at least 1/8 of an inch or more. If it does it has an open stopping the continuity to the positive lug to the solenoid preventing it to work. Any auto parts store sells these fusable links. The counterperson will suggest the crimping supplies and tools needed to purchase for this repair

I assume you man the Radio code? Take your VIN number to the VW dealer and they will give you the code.

you may have a problem with yuor ingnition system

You may not be full of refrigerant... There is a low pressure switch that prevents the AC from actuating the clutch, and the reason is: IF there is not enough refrigerant, you will not be able to move oil through the system and you will have major damage...so no engauge...

Get the system checked, most likely there is a leak somewhere..

Reconnect starting with positive then negative.

Make sure your system is fully charged with r134. The low pressure switch won't allow it to activate if there isn't enough in it.

i had to take it in - they have to find the serial number on the bottom of the radio, then call it in to VW and they will give you the code.

I had this same problem when I had to disconnect the radio. If you take it to your local VW dealership they will give you the codes for free. Keep them though for when you have to redo it again. Every car is different.
