fuses Our oldest classic Volkswagen had a fuse box with four fuses, after that this was extended to eight. The most recent VW T25/T3 (Vanagon) Bus has more than twenty fuses. But what is the purpose of these fuses?
replacing spade connectors A messy electrical connection will soon lead to the failure of electrical accessories or, in the worst case, the engine. Incorrect connections can also result in short-circuits, causing the wiring harness to burn out. Enough reasons to master a good technique to make the electrical connections of your VW neat and tidy.
basic electrical circuit diagram An electrical problem is difficult to detect when you cannot distinguish the basic components. After a restoration, you will have to reconnect the electricity, step by step is the message. Let's try in this article to make the electrical circuit of our VW simple, all cars eventually use the same basic circuit diagram.
DC versus AC A car needs a direct voltage of 12 V or 6 V to operate, a battery can only be charged by direct current. The alternator and dynamo generate alternating current. But what is the difference between AC and DC?
voltage drops The electric consumers of your classic Volkswagen expect the full 6 volts or 12 volts (or more) to function properly, which is unfortunately not always the case. Especially the 6 volt version sometimes complains about slow running windscreen wipers, weak headlights and direction indicators that pinch too slowly.
crimp terminals Replacing the complete wiring loom seems the most obvious solution. We have them all in stock for every type of VW. But this is a very drastic job that you will probably only do when a total restoration is at hand. And, is it really always necessary?
determine cable diameter The older your Volkswagen the more likely it is that the electrical consumers no longer get the full 6 volts or 12 volts due to voltage losses between the battery and the consumer. A voltage drop across the electrical conductor is inevitable, we are dealing with copper and we cannot make the cross section of the cable infinitely large.
alternator operating principle The direct current dynamo greatest asset turned out to be its greatest limitation, the collector. Supplying more current would shorten the life of the carbon brushes; something had to be found for that. So the dynamo no longer sufficed for the new situation of the mid-sixties.
measuring electric current To measure current, you must interrupt the circuit through which the current flows. The ammeter must be connected in series. Therefore, that a current clamp is a better solution. This type of ammeter does not affect the circuit to be measured, it measures the magnetic field around the conductor (induction principle, see edition 26).
dynamo operating principal Wouldn`t it be nice to know what DF means, for example? And what does D+ mean? If you know what`s behind these letters and numbers, then connecting the dynamo will be a breeze. In this article, we will explain the working principle of the dynamo, also known as a direct current generator.
