Ahad Asad, Glen nor I knew you had the autostick starter. That indeed changes the diagnosis on the starter bushing. A battery with a dead or shorted cell causes all kinds of problems so I'm proud of you in getting it checked! See what further problems you have now that you have a good battery. Make sure you are charging and if not, you will need to have your alternator checked to see if it's charging and if it is, replace your regulator and double check all your wiring connections. I'm confident you will win this situation!
I know with my 1974 Super Beetle, I've had problems with the electrical system which was traced to at first, a bad alternator, bad regulator, and then later a false alarm caused by a faulty turn signal switch. It happens now and again and I just shake the turnsignal switch violently and blew canned air in there and it works again for a while. I think it gets carbon and dirt buildup and it causes a short which makes the alternator light come on. That's also why I mentioned to check fuses. When I get corroson in the fuse block on a certain fuse, it also makes the light come on. I've been there done that so I know instantly what I have to check when things start going wrong.
