beetle problem

[colin81]

Hi I have finally got my beetle back out of storage to get it back on the road, I remember last time I used it the genarator light was on on the speedo and I'm sure I read this is the dynamo that has had it,does anyone know how I can test this? Thanks alot

first check you have about 12.8v when the engine is running, check youre brushes in the dyno as they mat be fooked and ofcourse check all the wiring to the regulator and dyno

cheers andy

Hi thanks for the info, I found the regulator and noticed that there is a bunch of 3 wires that come from behind the regulator I guess that go to engine bay and run right along to the battery together with all like speaker type connectors on the end, one is yellow with red stripes on it one is all brown and the other is brown with whites stripes on it, any one with a beetle know where go? Thanks alot

battery, dyno and charge light

they are all just loose do they get wired on to the positive on the battery? i must have something missing where they connect too
