Help!

So I am puzzled with my recent issue.

I have a 99 Passat wagon 1.8t (AEB). Background: Starter would spin, replaced timing belt and related items. After starter would spin as well, went to plug n the coolant temp sensor and starter stopped spinning (coincidence).

So basically need help to why my starter wont spin. Will spin if jump a hot wire over. Replaced ignition switch, Checked all the ccm wiring, relays both can be felt/heard activating.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Might want to test voltage at the starter to make sure it’s getting juice.

I used just a simple test light in the "signal" wire and it did not light up.

Since the starter works when you power it directly from the battery, it seems you have an issue with the wiring itself or a fuse.

I'm with him on this. If you jumpered it and it works then the ground is good, it's got to be the positive connection from the battery to the starter.
