8-amp fuses are recommended for practically everything on a Beetle of that age. http://www.vw-resource.com/wiring.html#standard
12 to 13 amps
Check your owner's manual. There should be a detailed list of what fuses control what and their required amps.
All fuses should be 8 amps (white) with the exception of circuits 9 and 10. These circuits should be 16 amps (red). Hope this helps. also there is a fuse box diagram for a 73 super beetle found on this link (you can find other super beetle fuse box diagrams and wiring diagrams there too) http://www.vintagebus.com/wiring/bug-73+fuse.jpg
Fuses are rated in Amps. Although the physical size of a fuse is to do with volts; the further the terminals are apart the less likelihood there is of 'sparkover' between them.
12
There are two sizes. The white ones are 8 amps, the red are 16 amps.
It is on the fuses. eg: 10 = 10 amp, 7.5= 71/2 amp fuse
Depends, there are fuses ranging from 5 amps up to 50 amps in use on the Neon.
Fuse SizesThe Amperage ratings [sizing] of fuses [and circuit breakers] is determined by the SIZE of the conductors [wires] in the circuit which they serve.The size of the wires is determined by the maximum expected current [measured in Amperes (Amps) or Milliamps (mA] needed by the electrical devices "fed" by the circuit.Therefore, the answer to your question is that there are many different "size" fuses which range in Amperage from thousandths of an Amp to hundreds of Amps.
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.In the UK the power plugs are the standard 240 v 3-pin 13 amp variety and they can be fitted with 13 amp fuses. Other common fuse ratings that can be put in are 5 amps and 3 amps for low-power equipment, and it is also possible to buy other fuses like 1 amp, 7 amps and 10 amps.
outside the car probablyThe primary fuse box on a 1973 Super Beetle is in the center and just below the dashboard "inside" the vehicle. It should contain 12 fuses rated either 8 or 12 amps, the 8s are white in color while the 12s are red in color and are available at many automotive supply stores.********************************True answer is as follows looking under the dash at the fuses in the box:1 thru 8 (left to right) are 8 ampere fuses color white9 and 10 are 16 ampere fuses color red11 and 12 are 8 ampere fuses color whiteP.S. The number 7 slot is an unassigned slot for things such as a radio and such but keep a spare 8 ampere fuse there for a rainy day as you will need it soon enough.Do not use 12 ampere fuses in your 1973 beetle at all !1961 and on use either 8 or 16 ampere fuses, of course in different slots throughout the years.
