I just got my first car, 1988 VW Jetta. The guy who owned it hacked the wiring all to hell and didn't use a harness.

What is the wiring diagram for a 1988 Vw Jetta?

What might be easier would be just to goto the junkyard and find the plug from one and splice it bak together, but you're probably planning that already [img]smile.gif[/img]
That's what happened to my car when I first got it, what a PITA.

If that does not look right (got it from www.the12volt.com) then cross-reference it to this one (from installdr.com) Or you can try it against this one (from streetdreams.com) http://www.streetdreams.com/wires/vo...ta1986-92.html

Thanks Ross. I ran a lenght of 4 gauge with little problems. Only problem I am having is with getting the trim off around the doors so I can run RCA
