Hi Volks:

While driving home last night in our 86 Westfalia I smelled a faint electrical smell. This morning the Westfalia would not turn over. I replaced the ignition switch 4 weeks ago.

The following do work:

- Blower fan settings 1, 2 and, 3 work - Radio works - Headlights low and high beam work - Lights on dash blink like it usually does when you turn the key - Fuel pump hums

I am going to check the fuses (including the 2 fuel relays) and the ground at the coil tomorrow.

Any other places to check?

Cheers,

Hans Brouwer
