Subject: Warn - Steuergeraet doesn't work (Was Chime gone AWOL (86 2.1,
AT))

OK, I pulled the chime (part # 321 919 433B) out and there's 6 male spade
terminals marked (clockwise from top) 85, skinnier one marked "G" then 31,
86, 15. One in center marked "L".
I'm assuming the skinny one marked G is ground. When I apply 12 v + to any
of the others (and in combination) and ground to "G" I get nothing.
Am I right in assuming it's toast?
I have a bentley's but can't find this dang thing in the pages of wiring
diagrams (97.67- 97.84)
