Wires on signal lever 65 sedan

[Mike_USC_65]

I have just installer a new harness from Wolfsburg West and am confused about the turn signal wiring. I have two wires coming from the lever that don’t appear on the wiring diagram.

My turn signals otherwise are wired as per the diagram


Seemes Im missung something obvious

just my guess , i duno but there were some after market turn signal/semaphore switches that light up on the end of the lever so you KNOW your semaphore are UP ...... it looks like someone added the wires up the arm but your not showing the end ? what is there ??? is there a light or switch there ?

the bottom of yours look to have been made for wires ??

OK this looks like what you have , high beam low beam switch for 2 years only , something like that .

MAYBE someone put a year later switch in your bug so that doesnt show in your schematic pic as original ? something like that .

Colors seem to indicate for a dimmer relay.

just an observation . thats quite a gap between the turn signal housing and the steering wheel . it should be a lot closer to the steering wheel . BUT it may have something to do with the mismatched switch i duno . but id loosen it up n see if you can push it forward n leave about a credit card gap there .

The color code: Solid brown is the wire connected to ground. The brown wire is the switched ground that connects to S on the headlight dimmer relay

Just an FYI, I found a kit in the Samba classifieds to convert my '65 turn signal lever to the '66 style with the high beam switch on the lever. The '65 lever is designed to accept the kit.

I made that change on my '65. I much prefer the lever switch to the foot switch. You can sire the relay to give you a "flash to pass" function, too.

Then you can repurpose the foot switch to act as an ignition kill switch. Hidden in plain sight! A decent theft-delayer.

I like the floor switch. Lots of foot work.
