As many of us know the Vanagon resistor is no longer available and
we have been using the Eurovan version part # 701959263D. The dealer list
for this is now $103 so I tried to order from a number of list vendors with
no luck. So reluctantly I ordered one form the dealer. I picked it up today
and guess what! It has been redesigned. 

I've gone throuigh my original one, plus 2 more in the last 3 years. I have the
3rd on now, put on 2 weeks ago while at Syncro Safari in Idaho. I also have
another in my take-along parts supply. These last 2 are the same resistor, but
with the newer plug, so it had to be cut off, the old one spliced (used butt connectors)
on and so far so good. I have presumed that I've got a high resistance
problem in that system somewhere, but when this occurs (this last one was kinda
specfacular looking) nothing but the resistor is hot or even warm, so hard to
trace where that resistance may be?

Got mine from Van-Cafe.
