Where is Reverse Indicator Switch

I know this sounds funny, but were is the switch that indicates that you are going in reverse to turn on the reverse lights? I have a 71 Beetle with 1600 cc engine.

Thanks,

on the passenger side & at the front on the trans. 2 wires goes to either male spade connectors.

Aloha,

Not sure if you already have it, but the Bentley manual has nice, detailed wiring maps of all the electrical components in your VW. You should pick one up for future reference.

Actaully, this site has the best collection of all VW schematics for all years that I have found. I find it really helpful.

Still have not found it. Bought one just cannot figure out where it goes.

Does anyone have a picture?

Brian, Do you still have that black steering wheel for sale?
Thanks, Larry

Brian, Sorry no pics, but try this. Jack up the rear of your car & block it. Crawl under there to the transmission and find the front mount that bolts the tranny nosecone to the pan. Directly above that mount on the passenger side is located the reverse indicator switch. You could also cut a 7" square out of the fiber glass centered directly above it 5" back from the edge to access that switch, the bowden tube, the throttle cable tube, and the gas line if yours runs through the center tunnel of the pan. If done carefully you can use that 7"sq as a removable panel fitted onto a couple of added lips supporting it & screwed into place. Covered with carpet no sign will be seen.

Yes I still have the steering wheel but I do not know if I want to keep it or the Nardi. I should make a decision in about 2 weeks.

Thx
Brian

Thanks Brian,
Just let me know.
