JBugs - 1971 VW Super Beetle - Wiring Series - Part 2

The installation of a new wiring harness in our 1971 Super Beetle continues as we work our way from the back of the car to the front. We’ll end up at the front after addressing the modifications needed when switching to an alternator, and adding a main fuse to the wiring harness. A new turn signal switch will be installed and in the trunk we’ll begin wiring up some of the wiring there as well as modifying our harness to adapt to our new ATC fuse box. Follow along as we continue the installation, one wire at a time!

A wiring diagram using this fuse panel on an unmodified gauge setup would be helpful.

[stevespry]

what is the small in-line resistor for. Do you have to have it if you are not using led lights for the generator?

Great video series! I'm really interested in the Aftermarket VDO Speedometer & LED Indicator Lights setup you are showing in this video. Please provide more information as to which model number & where we can obtain the whole setup?

Hey Sam, is there a video where you cover how to connect the two red wires you snipped and connected to 3 connector? I'm having trouble finishing this part on my 73 beetle
