| On my 1972 standard Beetle the turn signal switch broke, got replacement but it had 9 wires while my original had 6 wires, any help of what goes where would be of help, thanks. |

| You don't need the three wires in question. Instructions should tell you the ones are not needed, just cut and tape . |

| I just replaced the turn signal switch on my '72 a couple months ago. I noticed how someone had cut some of the connectors on the old switch. I had no idea why, so I connected everything that was there on the new switch. There have been no problems with it, so, I would say that, even if you don't need some of the connections, it doesn't seem that you need to make sure they're not connected, either. |

My old one wouldn't stay 'lit' on the righthand turn. Had to hold the stalk a little off of the stop. Notice the new one I bought had 6 wires and that on the right side a contact was further over. I spliced the pairs together. Works great and all fit back into the housing.
