I never would have thought to look all the way down to fuse # 7.... > 58 is the front park lights, and 57 is the rear park lights. It looks like you got those reversed: 57 = fronts, 58 = rears. I see that the parking light indicator on the dash is fed from fuse 57, so that it goes off when the front parking lights go off. Since the dash light behaves the same way in the late cars, I guess this means that the switch still has to have the same contacts, they just get wired up differently. So the late switch would not have been cheaper. Thanks for posting the schematic. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
