Much talk about relays, switch connections and the like. There's a handy guide to the Bosch/DIN terminal numbers here, if you haven't seen it before... http://www.type2.com/library/identifi/bosterm.htm Armed with this and a decent wiring diagram from www.vintagebus.com, you'll be able to connect anything to anything else ...
The Germans were obviously worried that if there wasn't an official system, citizens would just start giving the terminals in their car any number they wanted. As a result, anarchy would reign and German society would collapse ... PS If you look on the transparent cover for your fusebox, VW have handily marked all the fuse positions with the correct magic numbers...
