Those are the connectors hanging down. Well, as I don't know exactly what they are for, I cant say no more than what I can find in the wiring diagram displayed in the Haynes. It does not say exact year, only "early 6 volt models". As I said earlier, the diagram in the Haynes has an I connection, but it is not used, still it can be the same as the J you mentioned. It also depends on how many fuses you+:“Ls, I guess. The diagram here has 10 fuses. But then I took a look at the different wiring diagrams in the Haynes manual for the 1300/1500 Beetle, and I saw that there are several styles of relays. Some with, and some without a 30 connection. None with the J connection. I guess you will sort it out if you can find a relay with the connections S F 56 56a 30. Then you should try to connect the J wire to the 30 connection. Btw, you write that the J wire comes from fuse #8, but what is on the other side of fuse #8? Where does it come from / go to? > A couple of other > things about the wiring on this car are bothering me.

Yes, the P is for the side marker lights, or Parking lights as they are also known as. The feature of these are that, when the ignition is off, the parking lights of the respective side is activated when you turn the turn signal lever. I have these on my 73 Square, but they are not connected to the side markers, but to the tail light, and front parking light instead (the lamps on the side of my 73 are amber, and connected to the turn signals). There is a P output on the back of the ign. switch,ß–dGn turn goes to the P connection on the turn signal lever. The P connection on the back of the ign. switch gets power when the ign. is off. My 87 Vanagon is also setup this way, but the wires from the ign. switch to the turn signal lever are not installed from the factory. I plan to do this when I get time.
