The wiring diagram in the Haynes Manual does not match what I have coming out the door. I also checked Jeff Bowlsby's site.
Which wires go where:  |

So here's what I ended up doing:
I bought the single-connector door switches at a VW place (I think the 914-6's have these types, as do older Bugs, etc). I wired the grounds to them and now I have a light, but I have to switch it off and on manually. I just taped up the red wires. I attached both sets of ground wires to the switch so I can turn the light on by flipping the switch button up or down. Is it ideal? No, but at least I have a manual dome light and no annoying buzzer. I think the switches are bad. Even after cleaning them, only one side worked. They are not available new, and are expensive anyway. |
