Hello all! This is my first foray into the list. I've learned much from you all over the last several months. This is a great group, your sharing in all things vanagon, and not, is a great example of community. I look forward to meeting some of you at campouts in the future. Your varied expetise and experiences have inspired me to fall in love all over again with my '85 Westy, 2.1 Wbxr. "Cassidy" was my daily driver for 10 years since 1993 and now this list has emboldended me to take on rejuvenating him in ways that I've not ventured before. Some I'ld like to share with the list like "tubaniel" and "Bennyboy" and others when I learn how to up-load pics and such. Your great! Now I'm stumped and stymied with getting back on the road with my Dometic working. It never has, but with help of Lorean and Ken, I took it out, refurbished it, bench tested each system and it worked. Before putting it in, I tested the 12v input and here's what I've got: 1- no auxillary battery, just stock wiring to'refrigerator heater relay'(bently 97.32.e), plan to put in aux bat in future. 2- clean wiring from relay thru fuse block and to ignition switch. 3- + Power from bat at term 87 thru term 30 to frig connection. 4- continuity in blue wire from term 87 to D connection at the alternator. 5- No Power at term 85 from the ignition switch but + continuity thru this wire to the ingnition terminal (term 50). This term is coupled with a #10 wire that goes I know not where. Bently (97.62) looks like it's track 78, but it looks like it goes off where 'no man has been before'! I can't read any 'track 78' anything functional and I'm not spark engineer. Spock where you! Any help is greatly appreciated! And when I learn how to up load pics in these e-mails I'll be happy to send them along. I'm in Medford, OR and it was on 'Cassidy' that 'scott turbovans' helped me solve a boiling over problem on my new engine with re-tightening the heads. TIA, Rick
