Hi all - just picked up a 1998 Jetta K2. In getting it ready for an Ontario "safety inspection", I was working on the drivers side power window (unsuccessfully). The Haynes manual listed a fuse 6 as 'fuse for electric windows'. I pulled the fuse; it was OK. Right after that, the car wouldn't start. Turning the key to start gives me a relay 'buzzing' noise from the fuse block area, and the gear shift indicator display goes from P to R. Switching the key right off then on 'resets' the shift display back to park. About one in 10 tries, the starter will briefly (1/2 second or so) turn, then the whole R indication, buzzing relay thing. I noticed in the Haynes manual that there is a 'starter inhibitor relay and reversing light relay beside the window fuse I was checking out. Does anyone know where I can get more information on this inhibitor cct? Also, can anyone with a Bentley manual tell me if this is covered? The Haynes manual is, imho, crap. Thanks for your advise and opinions, AndyC.
