Did you swap in a new switch?


If so, I'd check/clean connections at starter, battery, and ground
strap from tranny to frame. Likely you've done this already though.


Does your Vanagon have an automatic transmission?


A long shot, but are all the spade connectors at plug to ign. switch
properly in place?
