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
