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.
