One thing of note with the 6V cars is that the ignitions switches were
really weak and failed early, this could cause a lot of strange problems.
You really need to add a relay on the starter solenoid to carry the heavy
current of the solenoid when starting, otherwise the ignition switch wont
last long.

I am getting ready to start on my 64 squareback. I put in a new 6 volt
battery to see what worked and not much happened. The windshield wipers
work
and the marker lights work. Nothing else! The car wont even click or turn
over. The headlights wont come on and the signals will not work. Note the
car looks good but has been sitting in a garage for the last 12 years.
Where
do I start? What do I need to check first. The fuses look to be in good
shape but I did not change them!
