1973 seat belt wiring diagram - Under construction

slomazzo73

All,
Whether you want it, need it, ripped it out, or can't stand it - like it or not it was part of the car. I've done many searches on this topic but have never found a complete visual or a thread that makes sense...don't even try to read the '73 schematic. So, I thought I would make my own and when it is complete try and submit it to the diagram section for those interested.
I've had my car for 16 yrs and its the only thing a PO disconnected. What is shown is what is left in my car. I do not know what is missing or where the connections are made for the "?'s" shown. I know there are several of you that have your seat belts working so if you please, lend me a hand. Please be as specific as possible so I can complete the image.
**My year did not have the emergency brake circuited.**

Both seat belt warning systems work in my 73 standard, I didn't know the passenger side had one until I was installing my new seats (original 73's) and saw the wire dangling down..I found where it plugged into and figured that it might be heat( I got these seats out of a 73 at a friends house) But the first time I had a passenger come along for the ride with me, the stupid Seat Belt warning system went off..Obnoxious thing..but it serves its perpose.

btw - I don't think it has to just be a 73. Any one can give me info from their 73' and younger beetle.

Wilco, I'll take some pictures when I have access to a camera, and I'll follow the wires to where ever it is they go and report back to you.

For what it's worth there is a reference to a page "N" on the wiring diagrams for 1973. Probably referencing a diagram in a Bentley book.

Ignition Switch/Safety Belt Interlock -- see page N.

Pretty dirty but here it is.
These 3 go over to the passenger side, there is a brown, Gray with red stripe and a Black with Green strip.

Drivers side
Red wires there connect to the seatbelt lock plug.

One of the red wires goes into the plug that screws onto the pedistal. The other red goes into the harness. The other wire connected to the red one there is a brown with black stripe.

2 brown ones that connect to that white strip that goes in the seat, which connects to the plug thats screwed onto the pedistal.

And there was one more plug, but i believe it was just a ground, it was a brown wire.

Let me know if you need a specific picture.

I have attached a snip from the Late 1972 wiring diagram taken from Samba. You can download the entire diagram. This is the actual seat belt wiring portion.

Hope this helps.

Porsche60: I'd like to finish the diagram...are you sure what you have drawn in is correct? Are the wire connections you have drawn singles or one double? Are you sure there isnt a plastic connection similiar to in the photo that webbl already posted?
