Product Description

This is a complete wiring harness for the late 1971 (models with a column mounted wiper switch and a 12 circuit fuse) Beetle Sedans, 1972-1973.5 VW Beetle Sedans, 1974 Beetle Sedans, that have an internally regulated alternator, and 1975-1977 VW Beetle Sedans with an internally regulated alternator that do not have fuel injection. This harness is for use with alternator with internal voltage regulator (AL82). These kits are great for repairing old dried out wiring, or replacing the wires after a new paint job. All kits are made from original wiring loom schematics and are factory color coded. All kits are factory length and pre-terminated. Each kit includes detailed instructions which will simplify the task of rewiring your VW. This kit is compatible with 12 and 6 volt systems. Steering column harness, fusebox, battery cables, and relays are not included. All of our original style replacement wiring harnesses are made in the USA with OEM AMP terminal ends.
The WK-113-72-73-ALT wiring harness is modified to be used with an internally regulated alternator. If you have a factory installed, externally regulated alternator, the original wiring harness and plugs must be reused.

Wiring Harnesses can only be returned if the packaging remains sealed. Once a wiring harness has been opened, it cannot be returned.

Our Complete Wiring Harness includes:

1 Main Harness
1 Front Harness
1 Left Front Turn Signal Harness
1 Right Front Turn Signal Harness
1 Brake Master Cylinder Harness
1 Dome Light Harness
2 Tail Light Harnesses
1 License Light Harness

Please Note: The steering column sub-harnesses that attach to the ignition switch, turn signal switch and wiper switch are not included with the harness. The steering column harness wires and plugs are not reproduced. If yours are missing they will have to be sourced from a wrecking yard. The battery ground cable, the battery positive cable. The battery ground cable, the battery positive cable (along with the supply wire that attaches to the voltage regulator) and the transmission ground strap are not included.

Frequently asked: Will this fit my 73 or later Super Beetle?

Answer: Technically no. With enough modification, anything can be made to fit anything, however the modification needed to make this harness fit the 73 and later Superbeetles is extensive, and not recommended. To our knowledge, the "complete harness" for these vehicles is not currently in production at this time.

So, what do I do? The only answers to this available currently, are to attempt to either repair the existing harness, build a new one from scratch, or attempt to modify an earlier harness. We do not have instructions or advice as to how this is done. Please be advised that modification to an earlier harness is not recommended as there are no returns on electrical items under any circumstance.

The wiring installation shown is on a 1968-1969 VW Beetle. More wires and components are added and changed from early models to later models but the overall installation is very similar to what we cover in this video series.

Shipping

Our shipping policy is as follows:
We ONLY ship within the United States and its territories.

Orders over $100 will receive free shipping within the continental United States. Freight on under $100 will be $9.95. Large packages ship FedEx. Smaller packages ship US Priority Mail. Delivery time averages 1-5 business days after it ships.

Most orders to Hawaii, Alaska, APO/FPO, Puerto Rico and other US territories are shipped by the US Postal Service. The shipping costs for these orders are billed at the time of shipping.

For expedited shipping, you must call us. All express orders are personally handled by the representative you speak with in order to streamline the process. Please do not request express shipping via email. Emails are reviewed in the order they are received which could possibly delay your shipping.

Shipping on any returns is the customer's responsibility. If your order qualified for free shipping and a returned item reduces your order below the $100, you will be charged the according shipping cost for the order.

Returns

90 Day Return Policy

You can return most unused, never installed, like-new items for 90 days from the date of receipt. Items must be in like-new condition. The following items are final sale:

Special order items
Special order upholstery
Electrical items
Installed carburetors

Like-new Condition: JBugs may refuse a return when the returned item is not in like-new condition. These situations will lead to refused returns:

Installed items
Items missing parts or the original packaging material
Items damaged in return shipping due to improper packaging
Carburetors that smell like fuel
Damage due to customer negligence
Items with scour marks that show installation or attempted installation from nuts, bolts, screw-driver’s, washers, etc.

Returns must be sent in a proper shipping box.
With the exception of parts that are shipped to you in the original manufacturer packaging (example - TMI door panels, floor pans, complete front beams, etc), please be sure to return the parts with an external box or protective packaging around the parts you are returning. Most manufacturer packaging boxes are not rated for shipping and can become damaged or destroyed as they are too thin to withstand forces applied during the shipping process. Failure to do so will result in a higher restocking/reboxing fee or outright refusal of the return if the part cannot be restocked in the same condition it arrived at you.
