Relays look like this disposition on your box (showing rows with numbers in [ ]
ok? 
each number indicated should be approximatly the right one (relays get moved 
a bit around on fuse box from year to year

These two rows are the upper deck relays (attached to the fuse box atop it)
[19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24]
[13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]
The next two rows are actually the rows on the fuse box
[01] [02] [03] [04] [05] [06]
[07] [08] [09] [10] [11] [12]

And then there are the fuses.... below that (described earlier in detail..)

2) as for your antenna lead, open your hood and look near your computer box
under the rain tray, the lead comes in from teh false wing and then passes
around /under teh computer and head into the car through teh firewall in this
location (check my tech tip on my # 3 fuse problem I have pictures showing the
location of the lead of the antenna in both cases...
http://www.longcoeur.com/scirocco/number3fuse/index.html  (main page at
http://www.longcoeur.com/scirocco/ ) see if you see the lead there, if you do
then you could get someone to wiggle it while your under your dash listening
for it, if you have lead, you should be able to spot it atop  right (while
lying down under dash facing up) steering wheel colum.. g'luck


3) ya need to get a bentley man..
