Asked by ledetj71volk May 11, 2016 at 03:38 AM about the 1971 Volkswagen Beetle

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

the bulbs are good, and the fuses are good, turn signal on the right side
wasn't working but I turned the bulb a certain way, and it's working now, but
the brake lights nothing. got the hazard lights to work, not sure if cleaning the
connection to the fuses helped or not.

I'll check it out, have to lift up the wheel, this should be interesting, TY hopefully I can find the connectors, and it won't be too tricky. I have the manual, not sure how long this has been going on, but hopefully getting it fixed before I get a ticket. I think it may be the switch. makes sense.

65 baja bug and same issue but new entire brake system. Some idiot cut the rear wires at the firewall. What a nightmare to sort out with no proper illustrations on the net. All but the brake lights work. P.s. new buggy lights not led.
