“I would suspect that the relay hasn’t been redesigned either”
longprime–You missed the detail provided by Uncle Turbo about the origin of the VW Routan.
Trust me–a Chrysler-designed van, made on Chrysler’s US assembly lines, with only some cosmetic features making it into a VW Routan, is NOT going to feature any VW relays in its wiring.
99% of that VW Routan is identical to the Chrysler version of the same vehicle, and the only things that differ are designed to fool the unsuspecting VW purchaser into thinking that it is something other than a garden-variety Chrysler minivan.
