|
|
When I bought my bus, the previous said the previous owner said the bus stopped working due to electrical issues. I have noticed that many of the wires to the engine have been cut.
I am thinking that I should rewire bus to eliminate headaches. The bus is stripped as it is now. I have not found a U.S. source for wiring looms for a 1977 bus. Two large VW parts sellers told me they are not made for a '77.
I just stumbled upon a wiring loom for 1977 bus at Just Kampers in the UK. Does the following loom look like it is all inclusive (ie. lights, dash, etc.)? http://www.justkampers.com/shop/wiring-loom-j16742.html
Also, does anyone have a voucher code that works for Just Kampers?
Thanks,
Tom |

Did you end up trying this one? I worry that it is for a righthand drive, being from the UK.
Will this work for a US bus? I'm looking for a wiring harness for my 77 westy and just can't find anything. |

The main harness from the fusebox to engine compartment is ambidextrous on a late bus since the fuse box is in the middle of the bus. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here

Depending on where wires are cut, you may just want to find a 1977 and pull the old loom. Unless yours has been damaged it is only about a days work to go thru a whole bus while it is apart to clean and replace the connectors as needed. Once you do that you'll find everything works fine. |
