2005 Passat TDI auto.
Girlfriend's prior 2 mechanics were s***. Last one did an engine swap and screwed up all kinds of small things. Car now no longer starts. It started 1 out of 100 times and ran perfectly. The other 99, it gets to the point where the solenoid should engage, but it doesn't.
I get about 0v key off and ruin position, maybe 1 to 1.5v on the solenoid trigger wire in the start position.
The load reduction relay clicks every time I turn the key, so I think the ignition switch itself is good unless it runs off a different signal wire on the same switch.
I don't know where to trace wires now. Where exactly are all of these wires run? Is there a diagram? I haven't seen one in the Bentley manual that shows the in-car routing.
