I replaced the emergency cable on my 76 beetle and adjusted it to the maximum it still does not work

Have your rear brakes inspected for excessive wear and to make sure the E-Brake Cable is not broken.

Hello, These controls are very simple. You need to have the switch adjusted in the holder under the dash or more slack in the adjustment cable.

The way this works is the contact switch needs to extended far enough to activate the bulb. If the Emergency brake is too tight, the contact switch does not get enough room to extend. There is adjustment in the holder for this. What usually happens is the contact switch has extended for a worn system.

When new Emergency brakes are installed or the brake cable is adjusted, someone should have reset the Emergency brake holder. Now the Emergency brake switch does not have room to work. The cable does not move far enough to allow the plunger to move under the dash. You need to either adjust the holder or loosen the cable.

Hi, The flasher unit is intergrated into the Hazard/emergency light switch.

Replace Emergency Flasher Switch. This is an electronic switch and failures are common. Dealer part for best quality. Aftermarket parts work but have patchy quality.

Your emergency brake lever cable needs to be replaced or adjusted. Also, back brake pads may need to be replaced.

first you need to check the rear brakes ,the emergency brakes work off the rear brakes, there is an adjustment on the center of cable that goes between both rear brakes,hope this is some help,thanks robert b.

Just adjust the cable or you can adjust the spring of the fuel lid.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/ramy_d9e7ebea3891f482

From the manual:

• Open the rear lid.
• Open the cover on the backside of the luggage compartment. To open the cover, turn the two "quick-releases" and fold the cover down.
• Reach through the opening by the fuel filler flap. Grab the cable with th plastic covering and pull down. The filler flap will open by itself.

Best of luck!

Check the hardware for the drum emergency brake inside the the rear disc brakes, these pads are for your emergency brake, there should be an adjustment bolt that just sits between the two pads. Also, check the cables running to this set of pads to make sure they were connected properly. After you have checked the drum emergency brake, follow the cables in the undercarriage and look for the point at which they combine to another single cable, this is the point where the actual cable pressure adjustment is located.

it will be a simple wrench adjustment on the cable itself, the cable should run underneath the driver side of the vehicle. You will see an adjustment area with a cable connected to a piece of all-thread that has a nut on it, generally, tightening this setup tightens the cable, loosening looses up the cable
