  • Auto Lockout on Mk3

    Ok guys a hard one for you.

    I just converted a VR6 from auto to manual and I cant get it to start.

    I can hotwire the starter and it will start

    There are 6 wires going to the auto selector and if I plug the selector into the loom and put it in park, car wont start.

    If I howire the relay, it will start, but only all the time, or on the first ignition click, not the second.

    I reckon either the auto lockout recieves a signal back from the auto gearbox, which it is not getting, or there are a few wires that have to be connected together at the auto selector box.

    I am using the auto loom still, with just the conectors at the auto made redundant. I have the manual front loom, but I dont want to take the dash out for what is a simple circuit somewhere.

    Other than that, the car is great, it drove forward and back a few feet which I call a victory.

    Must sort the wiring issue, any ideas gratefully accepted.

    Matt, have you got wiring diagrams? I'd be surprised if the auto loom couldn't be removed altogether back to the fusebox..

          Thanks Josh, that was a good link.

          None of those suggestions worked, in the end I simply jumpered a wire from the ignition to the relay and car starts sweet as.

          It moved forwards and when I went to reverse, the plastic link on the gearbox snapped, so now I need one of them. Typical.

          Testdrive next week.
