Chris:

There was a discussion of BA6 heaters on the list a couple
of months ago--February or March, I believe.  Search the
archives.

I remember because I sent a couple of people the wiring
diagram from my '80-'81 VW manual (pre-Bentley) but I
have sinced checked a Bentley and it does include the
diagram, too.  Same with some trouble shooting pages.

So the Bentley is the first step.

<Friday content>  Computer support first question: "Have
you checked that it is plugged in?"  VW translation:
"Have you checked the breaker underneath where the heater
switch/thermostat/timer is?  Sounds like this isn't
your problem, though.

When you get it working, remember--use it or lose it.  Things
like the BA6 are happier being used regularly rather than
once every N years.

Good luck!
