Subject:Jetta Power Supply relay questions (Vanagon conversion) PIC of wiring diagram.

Hi all.

I still have a no start on my conversion, so am double checking the
wiring to added relays for Jetta ABA OBD1 into my Vanagon.

In this image from Bentley (Jetta):

http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/jettafinal1.jpg/jettafinal1-full;init:.jpg

there are two connections " 3/86 " and " 2 " near relay, that I'm curious about.

2 appears to connect with "malfunction" light on dash.

+ from ignition switch (15) goes to 3/86, but 86A is negative from
ECU. There is only an 86 on relay.

I would think that they don't shard the connection!

And..... it appears that 30 is supplying + to 85 of relay internally,
so why would there be a need for "keyed" + to relay?? Relay should be
"turned on" by negative from ECU.

I'm confused.

I guess the simple question is, as per the diagram, do 3/86 and 2
actually connect to the relay?

Thanks for any help!

Neil.
