I have been told to remove the stock wiring and start over. What is the best loom to buy for a 11 car.

we just started from scratch and made our own. The only thing that we have changed is we covered the loom with a plastic covering

It is really pretty easy to do. Are you in the San Diego area? Wiring is what I do and I would be willing to help you wire or just give you some advise. Please feel free to ask all the questions you like stupid or not. Later.

hello I am realy confused with tyhe wiring for my bug . all i realy needis the wiring so the car can run . I would like to rewire the car and leave out all unnesesary wiring. any info will help.

This is a wiring diagram off of Desertrides.com ... (scroll down)

hope that is what you were looking for

here is the wiring diagram , i think it covers almost all of it

Hi, I also want to do the wiring in my bug and want to take all unnecessary from it, i have never done it before but i want to do it my self and the best way possible. so my question will be what is the best gauge of the wire 10 , 12, 14?

I'm in Tijuana so i can go and visit any of you in San Diego, if you are intresred in teach some triks..

Thanks!

The size of the wire will depend on what that particular wires job is. When in doubt always use a size bigger than you need.

I'm glad somebody started this thread. This particular problem has been haunting my dreams as of late. Thanks for the diagram wanadune!

These are Maximum amperages for a 12v system. When operating at 13.6v your equivalent amperage is actually more energy than the same amperage at 12v. I always run at least 1 size larger than needed based on tables like these. and always run a 10 gauge for the alternator. Pretty much everything on a class 11 except probably auxiliary lights are going to be around 16 gauge.... ignition, oil cooler, pumpers, radio all take more juice.

Electric ignition, fuel pump, gps, intercom, warning lights, take very little power.

Remember that when you're running things on the same circuit you have to add up the amperage.

Gauge 12V
22 5A
20 8A
18 10A
16 20A
14 40A
12 60A
10 100A
8 150A
