84 Jetta fuse/relay panel help

Post by vwtopia »

I recently purchased a 84 diesel Jetta that has some electrical issues. Does anyone have a list of the relay numbers that go on the panel. It is missing some and I'm not sure the ones there are the correct ones. I've looked in the maunals I have and they really don't show the 84 panel, they show earlier and later panels.

I am also wondering if I need to replace my panel, it has gotten wet from a leaky windshield, and I can wiggle different relays and hear them clicking so figure they aren't making good connections or other things in the panel are corrorided,

Thanks,
Kevin

the box internals rust up and short out ( causing relays to click and cars to try to start by themselves )

A windshield wiper relay will have 53S next to the center post.

If the fuse box has brass connectors on top of the fuses,..
you might be able to take it apart and clean the connections.

I've never played with an A1 Jetta fusebox, but it looks like the pre-81' Rabbit ones.
'91 Golf gasser converted to a 12mm pump, M-TDI.
'84 1.6TD Rabbit with a VNT-15 turbo, still setup to run on vegetable oil.
'84 GTI with 1.7TD pistons and intercooled.
2003 TDI wagon
2000 TDI Jetta.
