Subject:      Flasher Relay Mystery
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

I have a mobile phone handsfree which plugs into the lighter socket, to provide phone charging and speakerphone. This works fine in my other vehicles, but in my vanagon this causes the flasher relay to buzz (not the normal click) and the oil pressure light to flicker when the ignition is on. The socket is always live, and the handsfree works fine, causing no problem with the ignition off, but not with the ignition on or the motor running. The relay and oil pressure light are fine without the handsfree plugged in -- what is happening to cause this?
