Our VW Turn Signal Switch fits late model 1971-1977 Beetles, 1971-1979 Super Beetles, 1971-1974 Karmann Ghias, 1971-1974 Type 3s and 1973 (1832346525)-1974 Things. For 1971 models, if your wiper switch is on the steering column instead of the dash you would use this switch. The Turn Signal Switch is modular and connects to the Wiper Switch before it installs in the steering column. At the bottom of the column the switches plug into their steering column harnesses. The VW Turn Signal Switch operates the left and right turn signals and the headlight dimmer relay.
Please see Tech Tips tab above for wiring instructions.

Helpful Hints
Installing the turn signal switch is pretty easy. It is modular and clips into the Windshield Wiper Switch. The wiring runs down the steering column and plugs into the turn signal harness "pigtail".The factory color codes for the wires on the pigtail are:
Black/White/Green - 49a Terminal on Turn Signal Relay
Black/White - Left Turn Signal Harness 4 way Plug
Black/Green - Right Turn Signal Harness 4 way Plug
Brown - Chassis Ground Tab on body
Brown/White - "S" Terminal on Headlight Relay
Brown - Ground Signal to Horn Wire Harness
Current aftermarket switches may have different color codes. It doesn't matter much as the factory harness dash plugs into the switch and is already wired up with the wires that the car needs. The extra wires are not used and not connected to anything. Here are the color layouts of the current aftermarket switch wires that we have come across so far.
Version 1:
Black - Factory Black/White/Green
Black/White - Factory (Black/White)
White/Green - Factory Black/Green
Yellow - Factory Brown (Chassis Ground Tab)
Brown/White - Factory (Brown/White)
Brown - Ground Signal to Horn Wire Harness (Brown)
Version 2:
Blue/Black - Factory (Black/White/Green)
Black - Factory (Black/White)
Blue/White - (Factory Black/Green)
Green/Black - Factory (Brown)
Green/Red - Factory (Brown/White)
Black - Factory (Black/White/Green)
Black/White - Factory (Black/White)
Green/White - Factory (Black/Green)
Black/Yellow - Factory (Brown)
Brown/White - Factory (Brown/White)
Light Brown - Factory (Brown)
NOTE - If you turn on the ignition and the horn is on, the two brown wires are reversed.
