Hi Guys,

I am the happy new owner (and fairly new driver) of a usedmk5 1.9 TDI. Unfortunately, I quickly noticed that there were a series of an electrical malfunction. Complete list below:
Cigarette lighter
Air blower
Front washer
Rear washer
Rear wiper

After some research (thanks Google), it seemed clear that it was related to a relay, more precisely the 460. I ordered a new one, then battled for almost an hour to reach the relay and replace it. It hadn’t solved anything. The relay was actually fine. I can hear and feel the click when I turn the ignition. I've even inverted relays of positions B1 and B9. They both work.
I checked with a multimeter and I noticed that there was no power on positions 40 and 41.

Any idea on what I could do next?

I'll find a way to do a scan ASAP (I don't have the cable, but I'll ask if someone located in East London may help on that).

Regards,
Thierry

What did the problem end up being? I'm experiencing the same thing now with my FSI GTI.
Checked all fuses, a relay or a bad ground was my next guess. Wondering if you could save me some time tracking down the problem.

Thanks,
Sylvia
