Horn
These should ideally have been made before the loom was put in to the body, as it would have been much easier. On the column wiper and horn switch, there are a couple of changes to make.
First the horn relay (the third in) needs the purple loop removing.

Washer
The washer needs the green (or light green in my case) removing and replacing with an earth.

Then its the intermittent wiper. This needs more wires changing and a relay adding (VW 3BO955531 or 357955531). This has been ordered. It was easy enough to wire, although I did not have the correct colour wires, so used the correct gauge wire that I had and marked it up with the correct colour and the relay terminal. Refer to the GD diagram for wiring.

Now the bits that I hadn't done earlier!
The brake fluid warning wires on the loom had not been fed through the bulkhead or connected, so that was done.

So hopefully that is the end of the wiring, assuming it all works! Now it is down to testing all the electrics.
Passenger seat
This was really easy compared to the driver's side. Basically I used the same process as on the drivers side, but did not have to worry about the handbrake. The seat belts were also added. Another job done.

"Great insight on the timing of the loom installation! It’s true, working with automotive wire can be tricky once everything’s in place. Planning ahead, especially for switches like the wiper and horn, can save so much hassle down the line. How did you find the wiring process overall?"
