Early light switch with seperate circuit breakers

Post by signsup »

Good morning,
Working on a fellow club members early (14th one ever built?) and installing a VW wiring harness which he ordered. It has come with the single terminal for the M series light switch. However, upon removing the original light switch, it has two large pin terminal connections, one of which appears to go to a separate circuit breaker bracket with three circuit breakers on it. The short wiring harness from the bracket to the switch is in ned of replacement, but I am having a hard time finding any reference to this early two terminal light switch and separate circuit breakers.
The owners wants it back as original as possible. I may connect the VW harness to a standard one terminal light switch for the short term and see about rebuilding the circuit breaker set up. Any experience with this early set up? Any direction as to new breakers or cable?

I've got a call into VW, but you know how that goes. (crickets chirping)

Any direction greatly appreciated.

Never mind.

In the three days that it took the mods to approve this post, I've got the truck completely wired.

Thanks.

Apology offered to you Sir.
We do our best to stay caught up on these newbie posts, SignsUp but our lives are more complex than they were 8 months ago meaning less available time policing the G741.
Glad to know you worked out your wiring issues.
