Bravo28 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Oh Boy! Getting wired isn't what it used to be. Have the harness in and connecting what I know, one wire at a time and by process of elimination, things are coming together. I have two questions. 1. Is my main switch correct? Looking at the picture, the left wire is hooked up to the battery and right one goes to starter. 2. Is there a separate cable that should go from starter to volt.reg.? I had starter rebuilt and not sure how to wire solenoid to volt. Reg. This is a LK rebuild so a few mods will be noted. Any recommendations on other picture are always greatly appreciated. Happy early Father's Day everyone that celebrates! Cheers!!🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tipton Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Progress! 1. Correct on main switch. 2. Look at the wiring diagram in TM 9-772, page 202 in the 1945 Edition, there is a clear diagram on that page of the starting system wiring. One side of the solenoid runs to the A terminal on the VR the other side to one side of the starting switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo28 Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 Thank you Patrick. I see what you're saying. I know what side of starter for the start switch- had it wired on stand. Anyhow- the harness doesn't appear to have a wire from starter to VR. Adapt and overcome. Thank you for your quick feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tipton Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Where did you get the harness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo28 Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 Bought from Yamulla. Looked at it again and I did see a three pronged lead. I had that end at the VR. Took it off and attached it to the starter. It left me with a single lead that attached to VR. Operator head space strikes again. Will double check everything, but I think it's wired up enough to start the engine. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 @Bravo28 I have posted this info in other threads however it may be of help to you. Attached is the VWOM booklet that came with my wiring harness and it contains information that better identifies the individual wiring harnesses. Please be aware that there is one significant typo. The wire coming from the starter solenoid to the BAT terminal on the Voltage regulator should actually be attached to the ARM terminal.

Bravo28 Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 Yes, thank you. I did come across your previous post and downloaded the booklet. What a great help! I appreciate you adding this link as well. Starter to ARM terminal, got it! Thanks again, Bobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
