Subject:      Electrical Glitch
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"

Iım having a bit of a strange thing happen with the electrical system in my van. When I put the key in and turn on the lights, everything is fine, but once I start the van up, the headlights are on but my standard instrument cluster lights go out. I have 3 VDOıs that turn on and off normally witht he instrument cluster, but for some reason, the glitch doesnıt effect them, they are on with the engine running or not. The whole things got me totally confused. Any thoughts?

I should mention that I recently had the alternator rebuilt to 120 A and put in a new battery. Had no problems for the first month and now this. One other thing that may or may not apply is that it happened right after a really hard rain. No rain in the interior as far as I can tell. Just thought I should throw that in.

Help!
