I have a 69 vw bug i'm in the process of rewiring I appreciate your video what i don't understand is the need for the dome light (inside light) on a hazard light what is the reasons for that
It's probably for the safety at night. When driving in the dark the dash interior lighting is lighting up the locations of where most of the switches are. If the hazard light itself lights up you can easily find it in the dark in case of emergency 😄👍🏻
Struggling to understand the reason for both a battery power input and a switched ignition power input. My application would be non VW. Will it work with only a battery power input?
I use it non Vw also. You wand the switch to work when the ignition is off. That is the main power. The ignition power is for the lightbulb inside the switch i think. I will go and look for you as soon as i'm at the car again. i already figured it out but can't remember it anymore.. 🥲😂
Hi! On my car after wiring like this video the hazard working good but when the key switch is off i found 12v direct on the coil and the engine not stop! can you help me?
Then the hazzard switch is sending 12V back to the coil in some way. Only thing i can tell you is take the wires off one by one and use a volt meter to see were the power is coming from
Sorry bud, that's not a diode, it is a resistor, is there to deem the switch light when you have the lights on at night, so you have a light helping to locate the switch at dark. Then the resistor gets bypassed when you switch on the hazard and the switch light flashes at full brightness.
interior light is to light up the switch when the ignition is on. ignition coil is a switched positive by the cars ignition switch. But i think when you only have the direct positive conected it will work too 🧐 i will check that out!
Any classic volkswagen parts suplier. Or maybe amazon or ebay?

thanks for the comment. The reason people say this is in case the wire get's broken or touching ground, it wil have the fuse close to the battery and therefor the fuse will work "better" wich is not super incorrect but well, As you could see the original fuse box is in the exact same spot as the inline fuse in the video. wich is 50cm from the battery. Keep your fuses next to eachother! if you ever have electrical issues and have fuses all over the place it won't make your work any easier. A fuse will still do it's job when it's one inch from the user and 10 meters from the battery. But in those cable lengths i always recommend using two fuses because they cost next to nothing. you could not see it the video. as it was on order but i mounted a brand new fuse box above the battey for all my new accessoires.

Sorry i thought you was refurling to the dome light the one that comes on when you open your door lol @@RollinHeritage

@@RollinHeritage maybe i fault this.. i apply on pin 49 (+ turn relay) on pin 49a (- turn relay)
How do you connect when using a 2 pin flasher
2 pin flasher? haven't worked with those before. Always 3 4 or 5 pin. i'm Sorry!

The point i was trying to make was clear, the correct words for it not i guess 😅😆 thanks!
No worries mate. Your tutorial is a good help and works fine.
Thanks for posting.
Why does the switch need to be connected to the interior light and the ignition coil ?
interior light is to light up the switch when the ignition is on. ignition coil is a switched positive by the cars ignition switch. But i think when you only have the direct positive conected it will work too 🧐 i will check that out!
I'm sure I know the answer but just to be safe, will this work with only VW cars or can this work on other brands like GM, Ford, etc?
Should be able to do it on any car 🙂
@@RollinHeritage awesome thanks so much!
The engine looks so similar to my hillman avenger
looked it up on google but Yes!!! those engines look so much alike! Cool car by the way, never heard of them! 😁
Where can I get that switch?

Your fuse need to be as close to the battery as possible for safety reasons

Disappointing. Just draw a clear schematic including the detail of what is going on in the switch and walk us through it - in two minutes
