113-953-513ANH VW Beetle Turn Signal Switch Guts - 1955-1959 T1

Turn Signal Switch "Guts Only" – 113-953-513ANH

The 113-953-513ANH is the perfect solution for the "Small Window" and early "Big Window" Beetle enthusiast. Original turn signal switches from 1955 to 1959 are famous for their robust metal housings but notorious for internal mechanical wear that prevents the signal from staying "clicked" or failing to cancel. This kit provides all the internal components needed to bring that snappy, positive engagement back to your steering column.

Because this kit requires you to reuse your old housing, it ensures that the external aesthetics of your interior remain 100% factory-correct. The wiring harness included is color-coded to match the early Volkswagen electrical schematics, simplifying the integration into your existing loom.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Housing Prep: Before installing the new "guts," thoroughly clean the inside of your original metal housing. Remove any old grease, dirt, or corrosion to ensure the new mechanism seats perfectly.

• Solder Inspection: While the harness is pre-attached, always handle the wires carefully during installation to avoid putting stress on the solder joints at the base of the switch.

• Lubrication: Use a small amount of non-conductive dielectric grease on the moving mechanical parts of the switch to ensure smooth operation and to protect the copper contacts from oxidation.
