Thanks for the useful input. I have troubleshoot the GP issue, hence the "ran out of patience" remark. There's quite a few thread I started on this. Feel free to peruse them.....
You just joined here in November --- that is why I directed you to the in depth stickie threads on this subject. Read them. Bentley publishes an in depth service manual with electrical diagrams, to answer your other question. These Bentley manuals are widely available (indeed, check out Amazon.com for instance). As far as "peruse" your prior threads that you have not linked, why? It is not my car and I cannot fix it over the internet for you. Besides, the forum rules discourage multiple threads.
Here are my suggestions for getting some better insight from forum members to help you with your problem: First, write a good, detailed first post, listing all of the specifics of your car (make, model, mileage, mods, fix attempts to date, when the problem first appeared and the symptoms); then tell us whether you have a vcds and if so what codes are appearing. A bad initial post usually leads to 20 questions (15 of which usually could have been avoided).
Now, about your comment about "running out of patience", please understand that that is rather subjective. My ten year old son runs out of patience rather quickly, throws up his hands, whines about it and tries to half arse things as well. I back him up, make him go about it the way that he should (learning how to fish versus being handed a fish analogy fwiw).
Lots of young people do this same thing. It probably is a generational issue due to the modern standard of living (computers, phones, internet whatever). Thinking through a problem seems to be put onto the back burner. So please, walk us through your problem. We will help you if you help us to help you. Thank you in advance and welcome to the tdiclub.
