I'm trying to reinstall the wiper motor but don't know which wire goes to which connector.



I'd really appreciate if someone could pull back the rubber boot and snap a couple of pics of the wiring to the switch. Or if someone know of an online schematic for it.



Thanks in advance!


'74 THING should have the Column-mounted switch. It's the same as the Beetle.

Look at this page of my web site:

My simplified diagram doesn't show the wire layout, so go here:

download this diagram:1972 1300 and 1302 USA de Y for Beetle. It should be the same as yours and showing the exact colors of wires.
