John,
You're close, but way off. It's actually a matter of non-communication.
There are several teams who design and build various systems in the Vanagon.
Unfortunately, these teams never discuss their plans with other teams (I
suspect they speak different languages and couldn't have a meeting if they
tried!).
What you have on the heating blower is a point where several teams work on
one item, but, again, without any discussion. You have the electrical team
(The Watts), the ventilation team (The Airheads), the coolant team (The Kool
Katz), and the front-end safety team (The 44DDs).
There's also a team who coordinates the work of the other teams, but is not
allowed, by union rules, to change any of the other teams designs. They can
only implement these designs. This team speaks only Polish, by the way.

I believe that ENGINEERS AND MECHANICS ARE LODGE BROTHERS!!! this is the
only explanation I can come up with when I think about some of the
complicated things you have to do to get to the simple things. I once owned
a J**P Cherokee that required disconnecting a water hose to get to the
number 4 spark plug!! The engineers are making the cars to guarantee that
their co-conspirators, the mechanics, will always have a steady flow of work
because most stuff is too much of a PITA to do yourself! That's just my
opinion, BTW I also beieve that the Government was involved in the death of
Martin Luthe King, JR!
