I am almost Speedstered out.... I have a solid friend who is pretty knowledgable about wiring cars, but is not familiar with the VW stuff... We are stalled out trying to match mystery wires in the indicator to the VS wiring harness. That and wiring mystery wiper motors to 71 switches, etc... I am about ready to sell this piece of crap for $10 but only after I burn it to the ground. Please help keep me going here. I paid too much for the car in the first place and it's just been one pain in the ass over the next. I fully restored a 1970 340 Dart with less aggravation that this lawn mower engined fiberglass shower/tub combo.... Please help.... What wire does what? The bug shop that replaced my bad cluster last year did the hacking on this one... it all worked, left, right, and high beams... so I know the stalk works... but none of the wires are matching up to a 71 VW diagram... and..... the Vintage harness is for a 67... Thanks for the help, a sad and about to quit this lame hobby... Keith

They've cut off the three wires for the inner contacts on that switch, assuming because the 67 chassis wiring didn't have them.

The center terminal that you've got your screwdriver on is +12V (supplied from flasher relay) to power the turn signals. The terminal above that in your picture goes to the Left turn signals. The terminal below is Right.

Then there should be one brown wire for the horn, and possibly a thinner brown/white? wire to the dimmer relay.

But it is certainly a mess you've got.
