Electrics 1972 1300 beetle

[LinkeLoutje]

Hi all,

I've just started the electrics on my 1300 beetle. Since my level of experience is close to zero I'm hoping that you guys can answer some of questions that arise along the way.

I'm using this scheme

I'm currently looking for the physical location of the rear window defrogger relay in the beetle. Should it be near the transformer?

Edit: I think I've found the relay. Bonus question: Does the center connection belong to 87? http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=1534763


Thanks!

I don't know.

But i do know the rear window defrosters almost never work at all anyway. the painted on grids evaporate away and makes trying useless. There are new windows with new grids. In that case It might matter.

Thanks. I will still be trying though

Another question, I've found two sets of combinations that I do not recognise. Could someone explain what these are?

May I give this a little bump? Still curious what these are!

First pic the top part is the fresh air fan switch, bottom part is just an aftermarket interior light someone has added.

Part in the second pic is some sort of non original switch, possibly for that extra interior light.

Thanks. I'm quite sure it has been a European 1300 deluxe from 1972.

That fresh air switch, where is that located on these schemes? (the non USA 1200 scheme is a lot more difficult to read btw...)

The item on the second picture (https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1534858.jpg) is then the light switch? I've found that switch on another donor beetle as well. Might be quite a coincidence that both beetles have this switch?
