     I found the problem. A loose nut behind the steering wheel. Actually I had the reverse light wire on the negative side and it belongs on the positive side. Also the points were bad. I also think I killed the electronic ignition.

This car has it’s own wiring system with no schematic and alot of orange, blue, and black wires. I’m currently sorting out and lableing each one. I think Ray Charles wired this thing. I’ve got to work so I’ll be back on this thing Thursday.

    The original turn signal vw 1968,three wire, with a two prong flasher. It was broken and I don’t believe the signals worked. I have traced all wires and checked all connections and bulbs. All the lights come on when being direct wired. The turn signal switch is the aftermarket chrome 7 wire turn signal requiring a three prong flasher found on m…[Read more]
