gti 8v starter problem
« on: 05 February 2011, 21:16 »
Ive just bought a gti 8v on a 97 plate. It was a non runner and have just fitted a new wiring harness from the ignition to the fuse box as the main live was burnt due to rubbing on a bolt.

My problem is when i tried to start it the starter wouldnt work, i have dash lights on and the battery is fine. I bridged out the the starter and it started turning so i know its not the starter.

Ive tried searching but cant find anything like this can anyone help?
