Subject:      Van Dies, Relays clicking...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Have an '86 Vanagon in the shop right now.  Customer has been complaining of
the van dying occasionally (sometimes after going over bumps).  When he tries
to restart the engine turns over but won't start.  He hears relays clicking
several times(like the two in the engine compartment) while he is turning it
over.  Then cranks it again with no relays clicking and the engine starts.
I am leaning toward a bad ignition switch on this one.  Anyone ever had a
similar experience.  Engine runs pretty well otherwise and has lots of new
parts on it (the guy was basically replacing everything before he brought it
to me, trying to solve the problem that way).
Any insights would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Ken Wilford
