I am trying to get all the wires correct on the back of the speedometer on my 69 beetle.

Does anyone have a good picture of the back of the speedometer? I have looked at all the diagrams including the one on this site but, wiring is a mystery to me. Right now, the dimmer switch is not working, idiot lights, etc. The fuel guage and turn signal warning light are working ok.

I have two black wires that are not hooked up. The first one is coming from the lower left left side of fuse box connection where there is also a yellow/black wire coming out of the same connection.

The other black wire is top left of the fuse box with 2 black wires coming out of the same connection.

Sure would appreciate some help on this. I have been at it about 3 hours now.
Not even sure I have the other wires hooked up correctly.

Thanks

Mike

i downloaded my wiring diagram onto a flash drive. then went to kinkos and had them blow it up and print it out. i then had it laminated so that dirt and grease would not ruin it. i had it printed out approx. 36x36. it remains thumb tacked to my wall for reference. much easier to read and follow color codes....

My '71 is the same, so likely the '70 is too.

Yep, this is a great site. The two pictures I got should help me to get the show on the road.
Thanks so much for you help.
