VW Factory CD Changer - Wiring Diagram?
Hello all,
I picked up a factory VW 6-CD changer (Model # 1J6 035 111) on Ebay this week for my 2004 Jetta, and wouldn't you know the thing is dead when I hooked it up to the car. Absolutely no power at all to eject the cd magazine -- and I did try the wiring harness connected in both positions (since it's not really keyed to the position it needs to be in - but the wires are numbered). I also tried the unit when the car was both started and turned off. Still no power to the unit either way -- so I'm convinced the unit is dead. So, when I got the unit back in the house, I noticed the shrink tubing was kind of lumpy where the wires separate out of the wiring trunk. So I carefully slit the shrink tubing off to reveal the connections underneath -- and I think I found my problem. It looks like somebody has been screwing around with the wiring, because this certainly doesn't look like factory work. I took two pictures with my digital camera, here are the links: http://www.kgibbons.com/ebay/changer/01.jpg http://www.kgibbons.com/ebay/changer/02.jpg Coming out of the wiring trunk itself, it looks like I have the following wires: blue grey yellow green brown 2 thick black wires orange wire wrapped in copper braid thin black wire wrapped in copper braid I have no idea why, but if you look at the pictures they have the two thick black wires exposed and touching right before they terminate into the wiring harness (look at the clear plastic shrink tubing). And it would definitely seem like these are the power wires. And then with the two copper braid shielded wires, they have them rigged up and making multiple connections as well. So it's just an ugly scene all the way with this thing. I would have no problem re-wiring this harness if I had some idea what the wiring is supposed to look like. But with the ugly state of affairs with this changer right now, I'm really flying blind. Can anyone possibly point me in the direction of a wiring diagram for the VW CD changer? A graphical layout would be great, but I'll take anything I can get right now - so a write-up on the wiring is fine too I may spend the time re-wiring this harness only to have the unit be dead anyway.. but at least I will have tried. Any help on this is greatly apprecaited! KG |
