Most electrical stuff on a Vanagon can be usefully treated as plumbing, if that helps. Voltage is psi, amperage is gallons per minute, switches are valves, resistors are constricted sections of pipe, loads are turbines or whatever. Opens are clogged pipes; shorts are leaks. Some of the plumbing does work; some only passes information (I worked briefly at a stud mill in Passadumkeag ME and the "log deck" had a fairly complex system of logic governing interlocks and so forth that was all operated by compressed air, no electricity at all. They kept me too busy painting railings to learn much about it, though). Yrs, d |
