If I can help one person its worth doing. Just did a complete fuse box rewire Fuse by fuse, You can tell by the comments it helped others. Its crazy the amount of time it takes to do these series. Five min. video takes a hour when all said and done. Well worth it it in the end. Thanks for sharing and viewing. Keep up the good work on your channel as well. Going to binge watch your channel here in a bit to get caught up. - KEEP DUBBING -
@@Volkswagenplanetwiring is slow going. Yea I dont get much watch time from the SO23 westfalia stuff either but like you say if it helps one person I am good with that. there just isnt enough info out there on some of these things.
hi did you ever finish all full wire diagram for the speedo on the 72 ?? theres a bull and white wire at 4 oclock looking at back of speedo one part of wire goes to into car the other part was not connected is there a video that shows this??? thanks
Yes it is 3:30am and watching the video having coffee , not sure what going on foot was talking to me tonight pain meds were not working so well,, hey got up did the dishes made some great french press coffee watching all my you tube friend . The doctor then work on it yestherday so must have made it a little sore but it a step forward ok maybe not a full step but a step.
Thats about my wind down time every day. Last few weeks it seems I wake up in more pain than before I laid down. Its a horrible cycle. Off to watch your new video. Catch you in the next video
My speedo is different. The numbers are different. My k9 is your k10,k2 is k4 mine, k5yours,k3 mine, etc . I bought my new wiring harness from wolfsburg West. Enjoy your teaching . Help me to understand the difference of the wiring diagram. Thanks Stephen. How do know what is the what is say k5 ,is any thing on the speedo that has anything marked on it . Thanks again
There are 2 different Speedos and wire kits. One is for the 4 speed manual. The other kit is autostick. K5 is the flasher light for the turn signals. Hope this answers your question.
@@avester01 in not at the house at the moment. I can check tonight for you and comment back. I use JBUGS.COM has free factory ( color coded( wire diagrams as well. What year and make is your beetle? Example 1972 Super Beetle........
I never had a spring go bad in the spedo, I have seen quite often the spedo cable fastener bolt not secured properly. I also can see why a spring could go bad also. Long use on a broken cable. Let me look it up in the Bently manual. You have a 73 super correct? Disk or drums brakes up front? Thanks for watching and commenting on a regular basis. If you need a video done or question I'm here to help. Your beetle is coming togther faster than mine. Keep up the good wiork. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your beetle. You would be surprised who you help, and how many you help and not even realize. - KEEP DUBBING -
Volkswagenplanet yeah a 73... thanks for your kind words. Your doing the electrical so man.... I’m so glad you are because it’s hard to find online. Or I’m too lazy to look online. I like the old school way of learning and you do a great job...
@@unicron24 Thanks, Iwas scared to death of electrical until I did the fuse box series last month. I would just pay if I had a electrical problem. Not now, I grab the book and find the issue. More spedo videos on the way til we completely finish it up. Thanks again for supporting the channel.
why would you convert the mm to imperial? .5mm is .5mm. Just get the right wire and stop faffing around with converting to something that is sort of maybe a similar size. Everyone in the majority of the rest of teh world uses metric.
If you noticed in the wire diagram it's in mm. I just converted it to help those who would not ask questions. You would be surprised how many think a wire is just a wire. Thanks for commenting. Stay safe.
@@Volkswagenplanet a 5mm wire is a 5mm wire. Something converted from imperial to something similar to 5mm isn't. Just buy the correct wire and then you'll be fine. Americans going with near enough is good enough.
good one people like wiring videos should get some views.

What about the 2-out black wiring that connects to the vibrator itself, need to know where the smaller female “spade” outlet connects too
Female spade wire if I remember goes to a ground body tab located behind the speaker.
@@Volkswagenplanet isn’t it a power to vibrator wire? Just double checking before i short everything out heh

@@Volkswagenplanet appreciate it! Its a 75 1303 Super Beetle
Do you know where I can get 1978 wiring diagram
Mitch I used Jbugs diagram off thier website.for the whole series. Let me know if this helps out. What are you looking to do.
My needle is bouncing . It has to be the spring. Cus the cable is brand new.
