Thanks to Rick I got that wire swapped out for a proper 50A fuse bar.

If you haven't already,I would stock up on a few of those fuses and put them in your glovebox . Those things will "pop' just about anytime they get a notion too. They might last 15min to lasting forever.

Looks good Russ.  Having had a car with a set of wheels similar to yours all I can say is have fun keeping them clean 

Oh, and you should look into one of these:

I think I saw you this morning!
Looks good!

Got to see it in person at the meeting last night.  It sounds as good as it looks!

I just got new turn signal and wiper switches to go in, and a new radio. I'll be wiring that in with new speakers.

You might be wondering, how have I been so lucky driving my car around with nothing breaking for the past few weeks? Well tonight, my luck finally ran out. I've noticed it had a slow coolant leak so I've just been keeping it topped off. This morning I checked and there was absolutely no coolant in the reservoir, which means my slow leak turned into a fast leak.

After work, I inspected and found the lower radiator hose had a pretty big gash in it. Fortunately a couple of weeks ago I got all of the replacement hoses online and they were sitting on the bench ready to go, so I went to town replacing.

While I was down there, I changed the oil too. Used a Mahle filter and Rotella 15W40.

Well if my heater core busts I know who to call

Now I have a new problem though. After patching it up last night I drove it around a little and it seemed fine. Drove it to work this morning (2.8 miles) and it was fine there as well. Got on the interstate today at lunch and my coolant light started flashing again, and the temp was going up...I got off at the next exit and took it home. Checked my reservoir and it's got plenty of antifreeze, I gave the hose on top a little squeeze and it felt dry. So I guess it's not pumping right or something. I just parked it for now.

I'm not sure if this will work on your car but on earlier Jetta/rabbits we had to prime the upper hose if you had drain the rad. Just take the upper hose loose at the rad. and fill the hose. Coolant has to pass over the thermostat for it to work (bleeder hole).  This even happened with cars that had a reservoir sometimes.  Try it and see.  This same thing can happen to your cooling fan switch .No coolant it will not come on.
