We went out for some pizza the other night. My buddy Brian is little tall for the back but insisted:

Do any of you guys know what the number 12 fuse is ran to? My car runs good then the fuse pops and then it runs like shit and dies. This is driving me nuts I just want to fix it. Thanks

Flat4:

Here's the wiring diagram related to Fuse#12 (S12 in the picture), I have more wiring schematics, PM me if you need more.

Hopkin's diagram tells you that the emergency flasher switch is on fuse number 12.

But according to this picture:

(picture is from this site: http://www.1600i.de/)

On fuse number 12 is:

Blinklichter = indicator light (in dashboard I think)
Benzinanzeige = fuel gauge
Armaturenbrettbeleuchtung = speedometer lights
Ruckbeleuchtung = reverse lights

Strange that there is difference between the diagram and the picture, in the picture the emergency flasher in on fuse 9 (warnblinklicht). Maybe it's a build year difference?

Is the fuse popping when you put the car in reverse?

It pops as soon as I turn the key on.

I guess I should say that mine is a 99. I have a new wire harness on the way

I was at a show this weekend and a vendor was selling old copies of Hot VW's. One of them had an article comparing a '99 water cooled New Beetle to a '99 air cooled Beetle (both were new cars at the time of printing). (The copy I picked up was dated Mar 1999).

On the last page I found a comparison chart between the two cars, and an article explaining how to get a 'new' air-cooled Beetle in the US. (The article refers to Beetlemex). Makes one wonder how many of these 're-panned' Mexican Beetles exist.

There is also a picture of on 'open-air', that's the first picture I've seen in a publication. (There are two versions, it looks to me like the 'other' version, not the one I have):

I saw the Beetlemex operation in person back in '97. It was a real dirt-floor operation.

Here's my Mexi. It's a Low-mileage 1997 with A/C from La Paz, Baja, Calif. Nothing is altered from stock. (She's squinting because she has't seen daylight in a while.) Not a scratch on her.

I did my own "repanning" as unobtrusively as possible, and she's registered as a '73. Look for her in the classifieds soon.

Here's another gem that was sent to me by my friends at OMNICAR in Germany. This is a simplfied list of the different types of Beetles that have been manufacturered over the years. At the top of the charts the different versions of Mexican Beetles are listed:

There is a logo on the window on the one in the Craig's listing. I don't have a logo on my window:
