    I've tested the wires to the glow plug harness closest to the harness but no power. Once the glow plug harness gets into the main harness I've timid to go touch it. I don't want to take apart that main loom and mess something up.

    Fuse Box Schematic

    okay thank you. Have either of you spliced a new wire into the fuse box to bypass an old wire. My glow plugs aren't working and the only thing I can determine is its in my wire harness. So I wanted to splice in new blow plug wires. The relay is good. The power source to the relay is good.

    A3 / B4 glow plug relay and fuse location

    I know i'm jumping in, but quick question. Is there a fuse for the main glow plugs on a 98 Jetta? If so is it behind the fuse box or located somewhere else on the car. I know there is a strip fuse in the engine bay under the rain drip tray. What does this fuse go to?
