2005 jetta back up wire

I should say don't try my patience, read my posts....but last time, find the wire in the trunk note the colour, find the same colour in one of the kick panels, test and join it there.  Bloody hell we have to do this about 5 times every time we come across a vehicle we've never done before.

Oh so all the wires go across the kick panel on the drivers side?

Don't you read anything we post?  I said look to see which side of the vehicle that loom goes from inside the trunk so you can ascertain which side kickpanel to test it.

Oh I'm sorry I don't understand your english you must be in the UK sorry

Spot on young person, the use of colour, or centre should have been a clue  Though I do avoid words like boot (trunk), bonnet (hood) and wings (fenders). It's actually dificult because I know that the loom you were after is the driver's kick panel in the UK plus all the other r/h drive markets (more than you would believe, Japan, China, most of Africa, India), though US Jettas are made in the US, hence go to the rear light fittings, find the reverse light cable and see which side the loom, left or right is going towards the front. In fact on Mk lll Golfs, UK spec, it starts on the right then ends up going under the front seats to the left!!!

I dont understand what the problem here is....if you dont know or cant figure out how to trace a wire i really hope your not working in a shop

Don't worry richl68 I'm not working in a shop! I come here to the forum for help and learn new things if I screw things up it's my fault so you don't have to worry about anything. This forums is really good and I have learned alot of stuff in the past. Thanks for your concern but I suggest you keep it to yourself that would be greatly appreciated..
