never mind on the not starting problem...it turned out to be the distributor rotor....part of the inside tab that slips into the noch on the shaft broke so the rotor was not spinning.

Can you see if anyone had messed with the fan wiring? If not, then unplug the switch on the radiator & see if it stops, it may be stuck on.

Re: 94 Jetta possible electrical problem help!

1) I believe one's for the cooling fan (A/C), the other I can't remember, but I've seen alot of cars w/o it.
2) Could be lifter noise, what quality & weight oil are you using?
3) I don't know what a radiator cable is.
4) Factory electric sunroofs slide all the way back.
