One of the things I'm trying to figure out is how to remove the dash to replace the light for the clock and fuel and temp gage cluster. I have not started just removing screws, thinking there must be a way to do. one other question is about the aux battery that fits under the drivers seat, at least that is what I think that space is for. does it take a standard battery or a smaller size and where to I connect it into the system. >> remove the speedo cluster cover, there are 2 indentions at the rear of cover, lift up on them. you can get to the bulbs now. as far as a batt, there never was a stock dual batt system on any vanagon westys, but you can buy a wiring kit from busdepot.com (i think ron sells them?) to add a deep cycle marine batt under the drivers seat. the only westy's that had the stock dual batt setup were the '74-'79 deluxe westys. chris |
