Volks - Last week several of you were kind enough to make suggestions when I started asking questions about troubleshooting a headlight, fan and wiper problem on my '87 Westy. To make a long story short, it was the ignition switch. We thought it tested OK, and were playing with the load reduction relay and the dimmer switch, but - it was the ignition switch all along. I guess the moral of the story is, when there's a funny electrical problem, put in a new ignition switch and see what happens, before spending money on other parts! By the way, the list vendor prices of $9-$10 are a good deal. VW retail is $37, and Camelback's internet discount price is $25. Thanks much for the good advice! Wish I had taken it earlier. - Mike Finkbiner '87 Westy Moscow, ID ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com |
