Turn Signal Switch - 1962-65 Beetle - 1961-65 Karmann Ghia

VW Turn Signal Switch for 1962-1965 Beetle and 1961-1965 Karmann Ghia

• Direct replacement for the original three-wire unit
• Includes three additional wires not typically used
• Cost-effective alternative to discontinued original switches

The aftermarket VW turn signal switch is a replacement for the original three-wire unit, designed for 1962-1965 Beetles and 1961-1965 Karmann Ghias. It features three extra wires in the loom that are not commonly used. This switch offers a more affordable alternative to the original units, which have been discontinued.

Wiring Instructions (do not follow the instructions on the box):

Wiring Connections:

• Yellow wire - 49a or "L" terminal on flasher relay
• Black wire - power to left turn signals
• White wire with green stripe - power to right turn signals

Additional Wiring Option:

The additional wires on the switch can be used to operate 1961 and earlier style (single tail light bulb) tail lights. They operate the brake lights as a tail light and a turn signal, operating as brake lights when the turn signal switch is not at the left or right position, then passing through the turn signal selected to the Yellow-Red or the White-Brown wires. If you won't be using the wires, they be cut off or taped off so they do not short out. If you will be using the switch to control a brake and turn signal at one bulb, the wiring is noted below:

• Red wire with black stripe - power in from brake light switch
• White wire with brown stripe - power to left rear tail light (operates as brake light unless the left turn signal is selected)
• Yellow wire with red stripe - power to right rear tail light (operates as brake light unless the right turn signal is selected)

Please Note:

With this wiring hooked up, when the turn signal switch is in the off position, if the Red-Black wire has power (the brake pedal is pushed), both the White-Brown and the Yellow-Red wires will have power. If the turn signal switch is turned to the left position, and the brakes are still pressed, the White-Brown wire will blink, the Yellow-Red wire will stay on solid. If the brake pedal is released, the brake light will go out and the turn signal will still operate until it is returned to the off position.

Product Fitment:

• 1962-1965 VW Beetle
• 1961-1965 VW Karmann Ghia
