1972 Vw Beetle Starter Wiring Diagram

The 1972 Volkswagen Beetle is a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive, four-door sedan. It is powered by a 1.6-liter flat-four engine that produces 54 horsepower. The Beetle has a four-speed manual transmission.

The starter wiring diagram for a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle is shown below. The starter is located on the left side of the engine, under the battery. The starter solenoid is located on the top of the starter.

The starter is powered by a 12-volt battery. The battery positive terminal is connected to the starter solenoid. The starter solenoid connects to the starter motor. The starter motor turns the engine over.

The starter switch is located on the dashboard. When the starter switch is turned on, it sends a signal to the starter solenoid. The starter solenoid then closes the starter circuit, which allows electricity to flow from the battery to the starter motor.

The starter motor turns the engine over until it starts. Once the engine starts, the starter switch is turned off and the starter solenoid opens the starter circuit. This prevents the starter motor from continuing to turn the engine over.

If the starter motor is not working, it may be due to a problem with the starter itself, the starter solenoid, the starter switch, or the battery. To diagnose the problem, you will need to test each of these components individually.
