Especially those of you who chose to carry fuel inside of your vehicles... ;) Myles -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Smola, Tony Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 3:30 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: WARNING- having A/C on high on 85' Westy or Vanagon = fire danger
I've noticed that if I have the A/C fan switch on high (position 3), there is a tendency to melt the fuse and fuse holder. Try this, Find the fuse....probably 2 from the right ( next to steering cover 25A or 30A) turn the fan to high feel how hot the fuse gets.....WOW! I have since replaced the fuse holder due to melting and do not EVER go to the high position
