I wish I knew. I never had to take the whole unit out. I imagine it's attached with a wiring harness, since everything else seemed to be done that way.

There should be a small opening for the metal arm to slot into the black disc. That's what I point out and mention gluing. In the video, it's directly above the cutout on the disc, at about nine o'clock if that was a clock face.

Glad it helped!

Glad you you found it useful!

You could try to glue it back together, I suppose. It's a pretty small piece and it's required to be under a small amount of tension at all times, so I don't know how effective that would be. Another option would be to order the assembly from a VW dealer, which is probably expensive. You could look around at local scrap yards to see if they have any intact assemblies or use one of those online parts stores. I have no idea how you could replace it with an alternative, but I suppose it would be possible to try to make something that fits and is the same material to ensure the electric conductivity.

@@ScottHawks5344 Its broken in many peaces so its not possible to glue it, but for info i tried that and it started to smoke... i used some fast glue.. I think i would need to replace it all in the end or just change the black ring that holds the metal thing if thats possible.

@@bernarddrozan3463 Sounds like replacing it is your best bet. Sorry the repair didn't work out. Best of luck!

You saved my life, thank you so much!!

Sorry, I don't know what the parts are called. The closest thing I could find to identifying them is from this site: workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/golf-mk4/heating_ventilation_air_conditioning/heating_air_conditioning/air_conditioner/air_conditioning_system_with_manual_controls/dismantling_and_assembling_heating_and_air_conditioning_controls/ You can also do a google search for "vw new beetle HVAC Temperature Control Panel" to find replacement panels.

Scott Hawks gracias !!😁y sabras o tendrás vídeos como repararlo ?!

@@jrbikingo This video is really the only thing I've had to do to repair it. I think there are other videos on how to replace it.

I'm no pro, I just tinker where I can, so you probably want a more professional opinion, but here's what I think. If the fuses are good and the devices work when powered directly, it's likely that there's a problem in the wiring. All three of the 12v power ports are failing in this car but the fuse is fine, so my next project is tracing the wires. Funnnnnnn.

@@ScottHawks5344Thank you. More directly, with this problem, did your light come on when the ac button was engaged?

@@tritter2001 The light on the AC never had a problem. The light that illuminates the dials that comes on with the headlights wasn't working but that was because the tiny light bulb that rests in the middle dial wasn't seated correctly. I fixed that at the same time. I believe the AC button light is independent though.

@@ScottHawks5344 TY much! BTW, during my research on this, some electrical problems are with the ignition switch. If you have not already explored that on your port issue. Ignore this if you have verified 12V on both sides of the fuse, vs just verifying the fuse is not blown.

@@tritter2001 thanks! I haven't checked yet. I'll look at that.

Yeah you're right. I had put it in that way, but my daughter somehow snapped it off again. I just pulled it apart again this weekend and confirmed.

It's been a while since I opened this up, but yes, I think the bulbs are accessible when you get this far. However, there is a good chance you don't have to take it this far apart to get to them. You may want to look for a video that shows the whole dashboard dismantling process and watch for the moment the bulbs can be accessed.

Did it work?

😮 yeah, same question: did it work

No, the arm rests on top of the copper piece. There should be enough tension in the arm that it maintains contact with the copper throughout the range of the dial.

@@ScottHawks5344Thanks so much for your reply. Just super glued the arm in, it looks great so far. I really appreciate the video, I couldn't find anything else describing the exact position of the arm. Fingers crossed it works!

@@13crazydaisies Awesome! Hope it all works out!

@@ScottHawks5344 I really think the little arm piece goes UNDER the large top copper piece. There are two copper plates underneath that it makes connection with underneath the large copper piece.

@@hartsdesirehomestead You could be right. I was just informed that the fan switch on my daughter's beetle (the one in the video) is now stuck on fan speed 2 no matter where the dial is, so I'll be diving back in there. I'll have to look more closely. At the time, I considered that it might be the case, but it seemed from the wear and tear that it was over the top.

I'm glad it helped!

The dials themselves come out from just pulling on them. You have to use a fair amount of pressure to get it. Getting to the point I'm at in the video involves removing a significant portion of the dash. That's not straightforward. I recommend searching for a step-by-step guide. I tried to find the one I used, but can't seem to locate it. Sorry.

Scott Hawks thank you! I used strength to pull them out, did just what you said and wola!! It worked! For the dash, I had to walk through several videos. Thank you for putting this out there!

You're welcome. I'm glad it helped someone!

jk m8, good video
