Thanks so much. My buddy that used to own a VW/dune buggy shop in the 70's, advised me to be prepared to change out all the wiring on an old VW. He told me that VW would use a lower quality of wire to save a few pennies on each car. I would prefer to do it myself using your method. That way, I would know that it was done correctly and it would be one less thing to worry about. Thank you again, Mike

G'day Kevin from Australia. I love your channel. I'm wiring my rhd 63 beetle (Betsie) at the moment. Without your video's and your channel I'd be in a mess. Thankyou. ✌

That fuse block is shown correctly, its just that the view is from the inside of the vehicle. I think your thinking it should be the view from the Trunk. Definitely not intuitive since the wires are on the back of the fuse block and that is where most people view their circuits. Im looking to rewire my vehicle soon and drawing up plans to do so. I'll keep the harness that run front to rear but will be replacing the rats nest up front and replacing the fuses with blade styles fuses. Also going to replace the wipers, install relays(since vw didnt really use any) and just try to clean it all up.

Found you by accident.. I am repairing and reconnecting all of my wiring in a 1971 tin top. I am really intimidated by this and the main thing is the upside down, backward left right issue of the fuse block. On these schematics as viewed, is this the BACK of the block or is it the FRONT where the fuses actually push in? Sorry for the dumb question!
@Mikefngarage5 жыл бұрын
back of the block on the schematic and i think it is the front on the fuse only.

one wire at a time. work your way through the whole thing it will take you a few days. Make sure every connection is good sand everything as you connect. Make sure your grounds like your tail lights are connected with bare metal. Test every circuit with a test light one at a time. you can do this it is not that hard. Baby steps.

Mike F that's exactly how we did ours. And we had a local vw guy...sometimes they aren't very reliable 😉
