Re: [T3] lights


Thanks for the reply Russ!

I have the 1500 S 65 square. There are 10 fuses and #10 is 16 amp. the rest are 8 amp. 
So unfortunatly I can't used the diagram. I'm getting my info from the big Bently.
I'm not much of an electical guy but I have the volt meter on the socket and a good ground both sides read around 46 with the meter set at 200. (I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense. Some day I'll learn electric.

What I can't understand is the #1 fuse is for both front and back parking lights and the luggage compartment. The front work and the back don't ,including the luggage compartment. So it can't be a fuse issue. The number two fuse covers the right side lamps. again front work but the rear do not. The right parking lamp has a piggy back on it that goes to the licensce plate light which isn't working either.

My 66 wiring diagram
http://classicvw.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=2375&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
shows that the tail lights are off fuses 1 and 2. The fronts are off 
fuse #7. If you have a volt meter, or test light, confirm that you have
voltage at fuses 1 and 2. If not, they get their power from terminal 58
on the light switch. If you are using a wiring diagram for a European
car, the light switch was different. In the USA during that era, the
front park lights went off when you turned the headlights on.
This is the European diagram.
