i just hooked mine up to these wires in the boot, but then found the wire (which runs downt the left side of the car) and then cut this to make my switch. | |

well thats the same thing, if you do that, then push the stalk back it will open the boot, i did it on my nova. | |

u can leave the stalk connected u just wire the solenoid to the wire which works the washer jet on the rear window, as that way u wont open the tailgate if u go to operate the wiper motor only when u use the pump, as u r removing the motor u wont have the wiper.:thumbs: | |

if u dont wire the solenoid into an alarm u can wire it to the rear wash wipe as u r taking that out. | |

bout 6months now, really slowly at first. beetles are really easy to work on cos thay have simple lines and parts are cheep as! but the engines are air cooled so performance is a no-no | |

easy peasy to fit soleniod, i just bolted in a piece of thin metal and bolted the soleniod to that, i got the guide from the general modifying manual that haynes do. then earthed it, and got the alarm people to wire it onto my alarm | |
