'74 Super Beetle - Bad ignition switch?
My 1974 super is having problems where the car starts and runs just fine but none of my accessories work. I sometimes works if I jiggle the key in the ignition. Would this be caused by a bad ignition switch? Accessories include headlights, radio, windshield wipers, fresh air defrost and rear window defrost

'74 Super Beetle - Bad ignition switch?
Almost certainly yes. There are a number of different types of switch
configuration, plastic , metal of varying quality. I find I have to take the switch out to confirm type and then buy switch. Fortunately its not a huge drama to replace switch. If you can get metal go for it. All the plastic ones seem to get brittle quickly and go like your existing switch. Best of luck. > wrote in message ...

Once I replaced that it has started without hesitation every time. |
