FAQ 76

Question: My flasher stopped flashing so I got a new one. It was the closest thing Kragen's had and it looked the same as the one in my 1969 beetle so I put it in and it doesn't work at all. Exactly how am I supposed to connect it? And how do I put in my new wire cover? That's the thing in the trunk on the other side of the dashboard.

Answer: I don't have a 1969. The wiring diagram is "interesting". It seems to indicate that:

Flasher connection:

KBL connects to a blue wire with a green stripe

+49 connects to a black wire

49a connects to a dual wire black-white-green.

Perhaps it is the wrong flasher. Try a NAPA, Federated or AutoZone store. Of course, you can always get the correct part from the local VW dealer.

I've never had a real wire cover (if you mean the nice piece of cardboard that keeps your groceries out of the back of the dashboard.) I think it just lays in there.
