So if the Relay is bad under the driver seat, where wold one get a new one? Or do i just replace that with a Yandina or something like that? The only reason I have bad experience with Mechanics is that there are no true VW mechanics here. Every time I go somewhere they up charge me and don't fix the problem and do not make any suggestions of might be wrong. It is the main reason I went with the Bostig conversion. SO i could learn myself how to fix the mechanical things. Electrical , however, I am a moron. I am suspecting this might be my Radio as a friend that installed it said that he suspetced it was done wrong the first time I had the last shop install it. I am going to run through all these suggestions next week to see If I cant track this down as it has cost me an AUX battery already by draining it to almost nothing and ruining the bat.
