argh! My beetle is driving me mad
I've had problems with the starter motor not working. Anyway, today I rollstarted the car and got it going, when I went to use an indicator the gen light came on. The indicator didnt work.
So after I turned it off, I noticed that when I turned the ignition key the starter motor is now turning over, but the gen and oil lights don't come on at all. An hour later I was having another look and now nothing happens at all. It's a new battery.
The loom appears to have been hacked around a lot since 1974, how difficult is it to find a complete beetle wiring loom.
Also when I put a multimeter across the battery terminals the reading goes steadily down, I suspect there's a short somewhere.
Is there anyone on the board in the Illawarra area that has any clue about electricals that can give me a hand?
