WTF- Stranded in Germany

[stock89]

Dark 5.0, I didn't mess with any of the other wires other than coil and spark plugs, everything appears to be in order. If no power is going to the coil, would the 10 pin even be an issue (if you mean the one at the distributor)? If you mean the 10 pin that was a recall, the previous owner had the short extension put on so the pulling a shortness is not an problem.

Hozer, the connections at the solonoid are spotless. The solonoid has good passage of power, it's just not getting to the damn coil.

I'm trying not to get too pissed but it's freezing out here and the garage is barely big enough for a motorcycle and a lawnmower so I'm kinda screwed. I told my wife I needed a new paxton....

Any other ideas greatly appreciated. Neither of the two wires that go into the coil are passing power with the ignition in the on position.

And I thought changing a diesel engine head in a Jetta was hard.....
