I believe VW ran the main power wire thru the headlight switch before 
everything so that when everything else went wrong you could still be sitting 
on the side of the road with the lights on so you wouldn't get run over.
   
   Just my opinion.

to trouble shoot your wiring some time in the future it might be better to stay 
reasonably close to the original wiring diagram.If you are going to make your 
own drawing it won't matter.As I am making some temp repairs to get me home I 
seem to forgetwhere everything hooks up.Unless you are some kind of electrical 
genius with a very good memory stay with the original wiring.It's only been 
working for 30 plus years.
     Maybe Gunter really wasn't that dimwitted.The wiring still works with a 
little help from all of us smart guys.

    So Gerald, do you route power from the starter to the ignition switch, then 
on to your fuse panel, then back to bottom, right hand side terminal 30 on the 
switch (where the hot wire originally hooked to)?
   
  It looks like I don't need to hook up the other two 30 terminals with this 
set-up.  
   
  I am at this very spot on my single cab and that was my plan not to route the 
entire electrical system through the headlight switch, but to go to a mini GM 
blade fuse box, then back to the headlight switch.
