To totally violate my own lazy-day policy, I decided to trudge all the way
out to the van and have a look-see at the #18 X-relay.  Sure enough, it
showed signs of corrosion, no doubt from my other lazy project, which was
deferring the replacement of the windshield seal.  That's the lazy gift
that keeps on giving.  Popped in a similar relay from an Audi and voila!  I
have a fully functioning electrical system again.  Let that be a lesson
kids.  Don't be like me.
