How do you rewire a 1973 vw super beetle?

Answer 1

Wiring diagram available at www.thesamba.com. Print the largest color copy possible and laminate it. Kinkos.

Unless your experienced, a wiring diagram can look very complex, but it really is not.

I rewired a 73 standard beetle (first time I ever did such a thing) by removing each wire and labeling where it came from and where it went to and wrote all of this down on a log. Then I laid out the required number of wires, really only about six run front to back, and labeled each end. Run extra wires if possible in case they are needed in the future. You will need one for each turn signal but the other lights share a wire. You will need to wires from the voltage regulator to the alternator/generator/battery.

Repeat this for the lights in the front. That's basically all there is to it. It's a little more complex if there are no wires to copy off of but keep at it.
