All of the lights on the 1972 VW Bug work except for the backup lights and tail lights and I cannot find the fuses for these lights. Anyone know the location of these fuses?

ANSWER
Get the "Robert Bentley service manual" for your year car as it has a lot of info in it. You'll be looking at it a lot. It should be the Orange cover for '72.
Not sure if the Super and Standards are in the same place but the '72 Super is under the dash on the drivers side (Left side, US Models). Just above your left knee. The far left fuse (#1) feeds the RIGHT tail light and the #2 fuse feeds the LEFT tail light.
The backup lights are hooked to the coil with an inline fuse if it hasn't been changed yet.
To access the wires you will have to look inside the hood on the other side of the fuse panel. If the fuse's are good i would wiggle the fuses to get a better connection, the contacts will corrode a bit. Make sure all the grounds are tight and clean also. Make sure the bulb contacts aren't crudded over either.
Check out www.thesamba.com for some good information and diagrams. Do a search first before you ask tho as most of the info is already there.
Where r reverse lights on 1972 kombi van
This fusebox is located at the base of the steering column, top right hand side.
glass tube type fuses.
In 1972, I bought a 1972 Volkswagen beetle for $1,900.
All the fuses were located at the right of the steering column on the lower right flange of the brake pedal support bracket.
There is no fuse for the headlights in that truck. The circuit is protected by a circuit breaker located inside the headlight switch.
80 hp (60 kW) @ 4900 rpm is the power of the Volkswagen k 70 1972 engine and its maximum speed is 106 mph.
