Well - today I got the horn replaced w a 12v horn and wired up and I replaced the blinker/flasher. They both worked momentarily now they won't work. I also replaced all the fuses. My first thought is maybe a bad ground? Dumb question - does anyone have a list of where all the grounds are located? I'll clean them all up. If anyone is a 'wiring whisperer', you're welcome to help me out :D

Most things ground to the car where they are mounted. Brown wires are the ground in a VW.
