Maybe that connection came loose? Not sure if you can get to it without taking the tank out, though.. Remco |

Check this article out -- it could be of use to you: http://www.thebugshop.org/gotech.htm look for "horn wiring hell". |

I had some horn problems. I took the steering wheel off and cleaned
the brass ring and all the contacts in the wheel. Mine works great now. 74 Super though. When in doubt, clean connectors. Rob |

Ground connection is bad in the taillight(s) Paul (for you second
issue). make sure the bulb has a good ground all the way to the battery. See the "Horn Wiring Hell" at my site.... (a '63? Isn't that a "new" Beetle???)
