Just want to thanks a million to all of you for giving me troubleshooting assistance on my 88 Vanagon that refused to turn over when hot during my camping trip outside Santa Barbara, California. I had to wait an hour before it can be restarted. I was about to buy a new ignition switch but from one suggestion from Vanagon.Com I bought a ground wire and hooked it up between the bottom bolt of starter to the frame.... Presto! It started up everytime I turned the key. Thanks again! James W88kender Anaheim, Calif |
