Ok guys im in desperate need of help here...I have a 96 TSI
so in my infinite wisdom I decided that it would be a good idea to remove the dash and take out and remove the heater core and AC stuff... Since I was in there I was thinking... air bags aren't needed... removed those... and well. ABS isn't needed... that's gone too... and since all those are gone ... I don't need the harness stuff for them either.. decided to cut stuff out... opps...
so heres my issue
I can no longer connect to link... I have checked that all harness grounds have been kept and are there and "grounded"
I checked fuses and all are good....
I checked power (pin 16) via ground (pin 5) going to the obd2 port and it checks out.
Pin 7 (pink) hasn't been touched
Pin 1 was cut. how ever it was cut at a "junction" that ran somewhere to I don't know what (I know not helpful)
I jumped pin 1 to connector 55 pin 56 on the ECU and I still cant connect...
pin 1 says to draw 5v or more... according to the WIKI and its pulling 5 or more...
im at a loss here and just felling really stupid .. any help would be awesome... thanks
