last post for today, I promise!

okay so my new vanagon is awesome even with 2x60 ac, but it is hot lately
and that big juicy overhead ac is just looking too tempting.

thing is, it doesn=B9t work.

It seems as though the problem may be in the electrical/switch/wiring side,
as turning the knobs has no effect at all ( ie. I can't hear the compressor
or anything clicking, no fans actuate, etc.)

anyone can help me troubleshoot this?

I checked the fuse (about all I know how to do) and it is fine (doh!) so no=
w
I am stuck.

perhaps related, perhaps unrelated: the fresh air blowers in the dash work
fine at speeds 1 & 2, but at speed 3 they turn off.

there are some aftermarket fog-lights on the front, but they don't work
either. the switch on the dash has an led to indicate is has power, and
pressing the switch you can hear a faint electical 'click' but no lights.

do I have a knot in my electrical system? if so, does anyone know a good
auto-electrician near nyc?



love the van (respect the van)
