VW Camper Van Electrics

 So no matter how many labels you put on your wiring, by removing the  whole loom inevitably some labels are lost!! So I begin the long road to trouble shooting the loom. Also an old starter is not helping out much as this is also playing up and being intermittent. Maybe a new starter is in order, but I am hoping with a fresh charged battery and a fresh soldered joint on the new main battery live starter connection, these issues will disappear, for now at least!
So I currently ;) have wipers, hazard warning lights, parking lights, rear lights and  live feeds to the starter, fuel pump and the coil. Loads of issues with the dash as no lights other than the main beam warning lights are on, I obviously have connected up a permanent live the the front light circuit. The only one that should be permanent is the main beam circuit? as in that you should be able to flick the main beam switch and always get a flash from the front lights, even with the ignition off??

How To Re Fit A VW Engine

  1955cc Engine rebuilt and ready to fit.
 Drive shafts all fitted and locked down.
  Nice and clean.
  Started to refit the twin R1s.
  New paint for the dash started fitting up electrics.....slow work.
 New oil lines made up and fitted.
New door seals all, just need the bumpers and wheeler wheels painting now....white, green or black???


Thanks again to Gary, real piece of mind when he fits parts. :)
