Subject:      Strange Electrical Problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I am experiancing a strange electrical problem with my 87 Syncro Camper.  The problem is so specific that it could only have one cause( I hope).

I had been driving for several hours at night with the lights on.  I pulled in to a rest area for 5 minutes and then the headlights would not turn on.  all running lights work and the high beams turn on only if I hold the lever.  Also, the windshield wipers and the heater blower no longer work.   Later I found that the wipers and blower will work if I pull and hold the high beam swich.  If i then toggle the swich (off, then on again) the wipers and blower do not work.  If I toggle it again, then they do work.

Does this sound fimaliar to anyone?  Any thoughts or ideas?

I am suspecting the light swich but before I go replacing anything, I thought I'd ask the list.

Thanks for the help

Brett Anderson
