This video will cover the turn signal switch. This harness consists of 10 wires.This switch is located under the steering column. HERE IS THE LIST OF THE 10 WIRES IN THE VIDEO WE WILL FOCUS ON:
( S-) BROWN WIRE CONNECTOR TO HORN

** WIRE GOES TO A 2 WIRE CONNECTOR THEN EXITS OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF CONNECTOR LEADING TO RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AREA IN FRONT OF CAR.
*** WIRE GOES TO A 2 WIRE CONNECTOR THEN EXITS THEN GOES TO LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY
THE FOLLOWING IS THE WIRE THICKNESS CONVERSION CHART:
.5 MM = 22 GAUGE
1.0 MM = 18 GAUGE
1.5 MM = 16 GAUGE
2.5 MM = 14 GAUGE

hi I am from south africa and doing my 1976 beetle and adapting your video for my own beetle
I'm glad it's helping you out. Take care, stay safe my friend.
Again good detail plus sharing where the connectors can be found on the car. Thanks for sharing John. My son's 1978 beetle has the fan motor
I'm glad this video series is helping you out. Its looks alot more intimidating than it really is. Im learning more and more day to day as we go deeper in the series. Thats great you still have the fan. To the best of my knowledge about 90 percent of the electrical is the same for all super beetles. I know the fuse box is a little different. The way the flow across the fuses. The ignition switch is diffrrent. Not sure about the wires in back of the switch. I do have the Bently service manual if you have any questions. If you need something explained, let me know. I can do a special video regards to your question. Thanks again for your support. More videos on the way. Have a good day my friend
thanks for the video, I´m working in the signal switch today. (El Salvador Central American)
Great to hear from you. I'm in Tampa, FL. 🇺🇸. I have a video on the turn signal as well. I'm glad I could help. What are you working on? If you have any questions, just ask. Thank you again fir commenting. Take care
I really appreciate your help.
Have not forgotten about you. Its pouring rain here in Tampa, FL.
Where does solid brown and white on turn signal go please
The wire come off the ( S ) locatuon of the switch. It goes to the dimmer relay. Location ( S ) as well. Let me know if you got it, or need additional help. Look where the wires plug into the turn signal and dummer relay. Both will have the letter S on each end.
If you enjoy the series so far, check out part 5 tomarrow night. 10 pm. E.S.T. Part 5 will be connecting the turn signals up. That will be in fuse location number 1. Any comments or suggestions. Let me know below. Good or bad. All I ask is be respectful to everyone including myself, yourself or fellow friend.
@Darius Kalel just got reported
@Chase James just reported to TH-cam
Hi I was wondering if you could help me I’ve been watching your videos and I’m pretty sure you can help me. I have a 1972 Volkswagen super beetle I have three wires under the rear seat one is tan and red one is brown and the other is brown and white could you please tell me where they go to.
Sure I will help you out. 1st brown with white stripe wire is always a ground.
The red and brown wire I will look up. It sounds like rear window defroster if I remember correctly.
Let me check it out tonight when I get back home. Im glad the videos have helped you. Talk to you in a few hours. Thanks for reaching out for help. We will get it solved for you.
Mine go to the rear defroster. There should be a plastic gray cover over the wire, correct?
I forgot to add that many of the small diameter wires in my SB that go to the back lights had the wire insulation melted with the other small diameter wires going to the rear lights. Where possible I have replaced those wires with 16 AWG wires. This is not my first rewiring rodeo. I rewired a 1951 Studebaker when I was in my early 20s.. I am now 69.
Be careful of some of the new two wire or 4 wire connectors as they are all shorted together. Not at all like the VW 2 or 4 wire connectors. If you want to make a 2 or 4 wire connector super glue 2 or 4 single connectors together. Then you will have what was originally in your VW.
My car has most of the original wiring. My car came from Germany in 2015. Before that it was in storage for 37 years and it has only 53,020 km on the odometer. VW wiring is crazy. On American cars you usually have an ammeter and it has the big wires connected to it like the 6.0 mm2 wire from the battery in the VW.
where do i plug in my turn signal relay 3 prong, numbers on it say 30 49a
It goes on the top section of the fuse box. Top level
Also check out the next video in the series. When I show the work on the car. I show the exact position on the top level of the fuse holder. Let me know if that helps.
where can i buy this harness??
This diagram is from jbugs. I have never used there harness though. I'm not sponsored by them. They do have quality products. Hope this helps.
I bought my parts on jbugs.what section i can find the wire diagram?
@@scastillo1263 go on the home page. Click on related links, click on tech tips, then electrical and wiring diagrams. Hope this helps. Let me know if you find it either way. Google search example: 1968 beetle wiring diagram jbugs works. Let me know if you find it.
Thanks .salutes from sarasota
@@scastillo1263 thanks for commenting. Glad the video helped
A 0.5 square mm wire is not 22AWG. It is not the diameter it is the cross-sectional area a 0.5 sq. mm is 18 AWG. This is what it is supposed to be but on my car many of the 0.5 sq. mm are smaller than 0.5 sq. mm.
