Subject:      85 Vanagon GL Lights Issue
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

Hi All-

I'm having an issue with my headlights in my 85 GL Vanagon Westfalia. I'm driving along the central valley in CA and stop for a taco. When I come back out, my lights won't turn on UNLESS I pull the switch for the brights/flashers back. I had to make it home with a battery shoved in to keep the switch held back.

It didn't seem like a fuse, or at least I couldn't find one, nor did it make too much sense since the lights still worked with the switch pulled back. Seems like a switch issue to me.

Anybody have this happen and know a good fix. Do I have to replace the whole switch unit? If so, anybody have one?

Thanks!

-eric
