check your wiring again so you are SURE, then report back.

**** happens all the time to me. I'm worried to have my wife's New Bettle in for an auto tranny fluid change because of a fear that the tranny will go out.

Double check all the wiring. Did you damage the condensor while droping in the radiator? Is the compressor cycle on?


Uncle- New Beetles suck to work on. You cant even change the trans fluid w/o a $6k computer machine.

Thanks, I feel so much better now........

I'll go with the condensor as well. It really shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
