That's the first thing I thought about, the ignition switch.  Although, no
other switch symptoms (yet).  I am wondering if a bad aux fan sensor would
cause it to do this, or if I have it wired up incorrectly because it didn't
do this before I swapped radiator/sensor. hmmm.....  Murphy is free to
excercise his complete evil powers over the Vanagon and we, the hapless
victims, are induced to help.
