	I'm in the middle of a wiring job I've fitted the loom, and wired up the engine electrics (and had it running today) but I'm having some trouble with the dash and fusebox wiring. The haynes diagrams are next to no help, and I'm not sure where everything is supposed to go. It doesn't help that there is some wiring and some switches missing and the swichgear has had the wires chopped so I can't even figure it out from wire lengths and connector type (which is how the rest of it got fitted) What I could really do with is some pictures of the same area on a car with everything plugged in, or a wiring diagram that tells you what colour the wires should be. Any help appreciated

	You should be able to download a much better year specific diagram from thesamba: www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiringt1.php HTH

	Ta, found one, downloaded it and printed. That should help a lot.

	That did help Couple more questions for the beetle crowd... 1 - there are 5 terminals on the wiper motor, and they are not marked on the diagram. I know they are earth, power, park, fast and slow speed but what order do they go in? I could figure this out (when I have a motor that isn't burnt out - this one is) but it would be quicker to know beforehand. 2 - How does the horn ring go together? I have a wire up the centre of the column, this goes to the horn (which gets power from the fusebox) and a set of contacts on the back of the wheel which go to earth. That's the easy bit! The rest was in a box and I can't figure out a way of assembling it which will make the horn ring act as a switch. A photo of one that isn't dismantled would probably do here. Everything else works!
