I have a problem!!! No power at coil motor turns over but nothing happens. When i connect a wire from the ignition switch direct to the coil The motor starts fine but when I go to turn the key off but motor keeps on running until I pull the wire off. Please help as I am quickly going insane.


Thanks
Beetle

Ignition switch had it ????:alien

join the club, my switch has also shit itself

andt

I have some new aftermarket ones here , there not a VW unit but work just fine

How much for the switches?

i have splitty ones which are very nearly the same as the early german type 3's 'but' the type 3's have a inch long mounting bar so the screw holds it in place, which the splitty ones dont, will alloy welding 'melt' the inside seagul?

This would be better for a dash type unit , I have 4 of these
$50.00 each + post

one showing the thread & nut

its not the small plastic barrel that sits behind the key cylinder is it?

thats all that was faulty w mine.

be careflu as there are many replacements that look the sameish but only certain ones will fit.

good luck
