^ Yep - that. Refer to the colour coded wiring diagram above. I know yours is a '78 but they're all very similar, and I find the "bus shaped" wiring diagrams (as above) easier to follow. You can find an actual '78 diagram here, but they changed to a "current track" layout: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiringt2.php
