If you look at the pic of the back of the column marked "71" can you tell me where the 2 brown/blue wires should be going? Just trying to clean up some weird wiring. They were just hanging out going nowhere and the PO created his own fuse box--of course nothing label or referenced but does solve the grounding issues 69 pan CMC. Will make a diagram and maybe a cover to hide all wires--soon.
If you feel the need to direct me to a wiring diagram--been there already.
Thanks guys,
David

You should be able to find some useful info on the Samba. Try searching for 71 steering column wiring or 71 Beetle wiring diagram.

Been there just trying to save sometime--Samba member for years.
In your 1st picture, you have three plugs. The one on the left is for the ignition switch. The one in the middle is for the turn signals, and the hidden one in the back right is for the wipers.
Ignition plug:
30 red = battery
50 red/black = starter
15 black = ignition (aka, power to fuse box)
X black/yellow = headlights
SU brown/blue = dome light
wiper plug:
53a black/grey = power
53 black = low speed
53b black/yellow = high speed
53e green = park
turnsignal plug:
R black/green = right turn bulbs
49a black/green/white = power for signals from flasher relay
L black/white = left turn bulbs
S- brown = horn
S brown/white = dimmer relay
31 brown/blue = ground
There you go!
Thanks bill. It came alive last night for the 1st time. Seems like a beast will be on the road real soon.
Thank JUSTINH, he's the hero here!
