[T3] 71 Square ignition switch

[Dave Hall]

I wonder why you have needed two replacement starter switches, presumably in
a relatively short time. Do you do a lot of starting?  Do you use a hard
start relay to reduce the load on the starter switch?  Perhaps the
replacement switches are not as good as the original German quality.  Thanks
for posting - it's useful info in case my '71 switch goes bad.

Hi All,
The original ignition switch on my 71 took a crap today. I had to look up my
old post to get the part number that I used for a replacement last time. I
happened to be at work which is only a couple of blocks from the local vw
parts house. Bought the part number below, and again it was an easy fix. I
thought I'd share it with you guys. Hope it helps someone.

Copied from the Samba post:

Okay I bought part # 111905865F, hooked up the hot and check which wires
were hot when, knowing the brown was grd. Cut the wires to length, crimped
on new ends, put it all together and it works like brand new. RED to Hot,
black to coil, red/white to starter, black yellow accessory power. There was
a gray wire that was hot when the key was off. I was told this was for
European only. Hope this helps someone.
