Here is a description of the circuit used up thru 1970. Quoting from one of my early manuals since this is not covered well in the Bentley manual: "The horn is connected to terminal 30 via the fuse box. A ground connection passes from the horn through the (-) terminal of the turn indicator switch to the ball bearing for the steering column which is insulated from the turn signal switch by a plastic bush. When the half ring is actuated, the current flows from the ball bearing to the steering column, upper part of steering wheel hub, horn half ring and horn ground connection to the steering box. The front axle is connected to the body by a ground strap and the horn half ring is insulated from the steering wheel hub." * * Owner's Service Manual For Volkswwagen Squareback & Fastback Sedans published by Volkawagenwerk Aktiengessellshaft, 1966 Printed in Germany 11, 1966 [in English] > Also, no suggestions for steering wheels?? I'll have to check. I have lots of them, "good" is an entirely different question. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
