Howdy,
I have had my 1968 semi-auto beetle for about 7 years now and all the time i have been driving it i have never seen this light turn on, i dont know if this light was a 3rd party add-in or not but its on the far right of the dash, anyway car became sick and what i noticed was this light come on.. anyone know what it means (its not oil light or atf light (i think) as both of those are in the speedo. I have included a diagram, obviously not my car (earlier model and US) but i drew where the light is in my bug. Any help would be great.

without knowing what it is connected to at the engine or transmission it could be any number of things.

I've never seen a light like this before, but I was thinking maybe it's to do with a specific auto-bit?.... except my 70 auto beetle doesn't have one of those lights, so I'm probably no help.

Hope you find out what it is!

Such a strange place for a light. Must have been something important.

How exactly is your beetle sick?

Maybe it's a vacuum warning light or something. I don't know.
If at first you don't succeed. Build, build again.

It's not an aftermarket seatbelt warning light?
