Hey Volks?

I [read friend Tom, pro wrench] finally installed the relays for the
headlights.  After some stumbles it works correctly, but...

At the end of the project when started the oil light came on.  It turned off
briefly when stuffing wires back in but stayed on.  Then when restarted
later it came on very dimly.  Finally it went out.  What the heck?

The only explanation I can come up with is shaky grounding on the under the
dash star ground.  Make sense?

Mike
