[vintagvw] Strange herbie behavior

2014-08-21 Thread Kyle Davis
Wants to really go in first and second.

Wipers died in the down position.  Was jerky and sporadic before dying.

Turn signals no longer blink quickly, just stay lit (indicator only, not
actual signals.)

He's a 66 standard.

Converted to twelve volts.

75 amp alternator.

1600 dp engine.

single barrel carb, 30 pict series.

his battery did run down the other day.

Let me know,

Kyle

Could be a fuse too (or dirty fuse block contacts), looks like on the early 
66's power for turn signal and wipers was tied together (one of the 16 amp 
fuses).  Is the horn not working too?  

There are some diagrams for a 66 here
