I had lots of signal problems with my '68 T1 (a teenager had owned it, but I saved it, even to the point of welding new front and rear clips on, yay). Not knowing to what extent you're getting lights, make sure that all of your bulb sockets are getting proper connections, ground (if you're in a salt area like I used to be, I used a dallop of white lithium grease on the bottom of each bulb to help keep a good connection). Ensure the directional switch is good, and the connectors at the base of the steering wheel (there's semi-circular plugs/sockets at the base of the steering wheel for horn/signals). Unless a wire has worn off its' casing near the body, or a body panel has shifted; that should take care of the problem. -----Original Message----- From: swaffordvw@juno.com [SMTP:swaffordvw@juno.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 1998 4:27 PM To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: [T3] Turn Signal Prob Hi, Everyone!!! My Time stricken world had lead me to post this message because i have 30 minutes of free time! YEY! (Sorry im loosing it) I been working on this 05/73 Squareback non stop figuring everything out. How im down to the turn signals. I cant get them to work. The fuse(#8 on fuse panel) is good. The wiring seems to function. The hazards work i think but the switch on the column wont work. So i just want to know either what color wire is the main hot(Positive) wire that goes into the steering column. so when you click it on one way theres power going thru you all know where im getting. So i can try to see if the turn signal switch on the stearing works. and if not then wire them up with a DPDT switch or something. Im getting tired of working on Type 3's for a while. I need to do some driving. Then i will feel like doing some more working. so i believe that this is my last problem other than my oil light. What color wire in the engine compartment goes to the oil sensor. I have 3 or 4 wires there not connected thats for something. Thanx Ya'll >From Chris Swafford:www.geocities.com/motorcity/garage/4265/ 537Buckeye 36LSB S.W. Corner of Cinti,Oh In the Hills 71 Crashed stock Squareback half in primer.
