    Great video! I was just looking at a new fuse box in the Wolfsburg West catalog today. The videos will help a buddy of mine out a lot.

      Stay tuned part 2 will be tomarrow night. It will take a little while to complete. I'm doing each fuse in its own video. I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching. Thanks for the comment

      Its going to be a great series. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone on this one. I have learned alot over the past few months on this topic. Ive had alot of great people in the VW community help me and support when it comes to electrical. If I can help one person during the whole series. Then it was worth it. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Part 2 is scheduled for the same time tomarrow. Stay tuned

      Thank you for the great compliment. It was a great learning experience on my side. I use to be scared to death of electrical before I made the series. The biggest thing I enjoyed about making that series is the comments and questions I still get today. If your on Facebook, we recently created a private VW group page. We have quite a few fellow youtubers on there as well. Check it out and join. Share your projects with others all over the world. Same name " Volkswagenplanet. Take care.

      @@Volkswagenplanet awesome! I've done a 61 and a 65 complete from headlight to bumper. The superbeetles have a "few" more wires to figure out. And the wire diagrams I find online aren't really doing it for me. The hand drawn ones that come with the new complete harnesses are much easier to follow I think. I was about to just order a complete new harness... Now I think I'll wait for ep. 3!

Part 3 is a long video. It is scheduled for Wednesday night at 10 pm. E.S.T. Part 3 I believe is probabaly my best video yet. Thank you for your ongoing support. My goal is a video a day.

      Go to Jbug.com there will be a section to click on to get free wire diagrams. These are factory color coded correctly. They are available for all years.

      It goes to the letter " S" spade on the relay. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more help.

    • @Volkswagenplanet
      @Volkswagenplanet  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Does not go to a fuse. Once you hook it up to the dimmer relay on " S" then the yellow wire on the dimmer relay goes to the fuse box. 5th fuse going from drivers side to passenger side.

It's on the left side of the engine on the flat metal area. Should be a screw and male spade sticking up. I had the same issue with mine. Check your grounds. Almost always the issues with VWs.
