I have a 70' ghia with a brand new wiring harness, from karmann ghia p&r.... I have everything wired up and working but there are still a few kinks, like the battery will not stay charged.. I'm no electrician, so I just did the best I knew how. Is there anyone out there that knows what they are doing with wiring.? I know it should be simple and I'm willing to pay for the work. I just want everything to operate correctly.. If anyone is interested in helping a fellow dub'r hit me up. 214-542-0691 |

you can probably fix it yourself. Are you using a alternator or generator? |

I would first check for a draw on the batter when nothing is on. to easily do this just disconnect the negative side and see if you get a spark when you touch the cable to the battery, I usually drag it across and make sure its dark so you can see any slight spark. if there is a spark thats the problem then remove one fuse at a time until the spark goes away, when the spark goes away you have found the circuit in which the load is being applied to the battery. |

if it's an alternator conversion and the wiring wasn't changed properly then it won't charge...real simple fix too. |

Thanks guy..  It is an Alt conversion.. I did remove the external regulator, but I don't know what other wiring may need to be changed for that.. I will go home and try the neg- cable test and let you know..

you need to finish the alt conversion, blue and green wires at the voltage regulator needs to be spliced together. |
