horn

Not sure on a 63, but on my 72 the wire to the horn goes along the steering column near the steering coupler. Maybe that connection came loose? Not sure if you can get to it without taking the tank out, though..

I knew the wire described was related to the horn and, after typing my previous response, I became curious as to how this thing is actually wired. Check this article out -- it could be of use to you:

I had some horn problems. I took the steering wheel off and cleaned the brass ring and all the contacts in the wheel. Mine works great now. 74 Super though. When in doubt, clean connectors. Rob

Ground connection is bad in the taillight(s) Paul (for you second issue). make sure the bulb has a good ground all the way to the battery. See the "Horn Wiring Hell" at my site....

(a '63? Isn't that a "new" Beetle???)
