My solenoid apparently went out on my 99 GTI. While troubleshooting i managed to make it quit beeping when the key is attached. Battery is fully charged. Significant corrosion in the bottom of the box that housed the coil and solenoid. I would like to get a schematic so I do more troubleshooting. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

You might try ebay for the maintenance manual (not owners manual) for your GTI schematic. You might find a dealer online that is cheaper than you local one. Clean all of the electrical connections in the box and reattach. Do a resistance check to make sure those ground wires are actually grounded. Check the seal for the lid also you may need a new one.
