I bought a 72 super beetle a couple years ago. It’s in great shape! The previous owner did all the brakes in SS, new carb and fuel pump. But I got it cheap because she said the wiring was all messed up. So with schematic in hand I started sorting it out. I think what happened is that they were looking at the schematic and fuse layout upside down! When you’re in the trunk(facing the rear of the car) and you read the drawing so the text is right side up, it’s backwards!!!! Sure enough, I swapped the wire terminals around and bingo! All is good!
@@Sam_Mebane It will be a nice bug when you're done... Sam are you the person in this video.. I'm looking for an oval to have a restoration done and I will probably need some advice along the way... Take care my friend...
Very beautiful work. What about using a wireless key system? , central locking, map guidance system and more..?, I am waiting your upgrade ideas. Well done.
With this car we're just trying to keep it simple and get it road worthy once again. We haven't worked with any wireless systems. Power locks and windows are possible but none of our suppliers offer anything along those lines. As far as maps go, in our opinion, nothing is better than your smart phone!
Gracias, actualmente estamos trabajando para que este viejo VW vuelva a funcionar de manera segura. Aún no le estamos haciendo una restauración completa.
There are a number of wiring diagrams out there including one here - www.jbugs.com/VW-Tech-Article-1966-67-Wiring.html If you're asking about the instructions that showed the wiring diagram for the flasher relay, those are instructions that I drew up. They are included with our replacement wiring harness - www.jbugs.com/product/JBP-113-1967.html.
Most likely the gears inside are dried out. Pulling apart a speedo isn’t all that difficult. There are a few videos I’ve seen that go over the process.

That beetle is already better than my daily driver 😂
I mean, a daily driver means that its driving and you’re a step ahead of this car, well at this point anyway!

Nice job on the wiring.. I sure hope you finish this 67 project off with a nice paint job... Til next time...
When she's "finished" we will.....but it isn't part of the plan any time soon.

thanks@@Sam_Mebane
Great video! My '67 speedo makes the exact same squealing noise but only when it's cold. Any idea what the cause might be?

@@Sam_Mebane Thanks!
This has been such a helpful series! Do you guys carry the grommet for the harness? Mine is intact, but quite hard.
Thank you for the kind words, yes we do - www.jbugs.com/vw-main-wiring-harness-grommet-beetle-1965-1979.html
What is the part number for the circuit breaker
I don't know, I've had it in my electrical parts box for years left over from an old project. I got it off Amazon if memory serves.
@@Sam_Mebane how many amps do you recommend

That poor radio cut out is horrible man I hate seeing that!!
I know! I have a dash section to weld in but I don’t know if I’ll have it done by the time I take it to it’s debut.
