I vote for Ken's ideas. I have an extra switch if you don't. Pmail me, I'm in north Seattle if you need it. Bring a snow shovel to dig it out! It may be towed if the plows think it's in their way, or buried if it's not. For those who don't know, Cristal Mtn is a ski resort, and this van is around 4000 feet, next to Mt. Rainer in a snow storm today. Good luck, Stuart -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Anthony Boscolo Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2013 10:46 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Van Dies while in motion Hi all, This is my first post so I will try to be as clear as possible. I have an 1986 Syncro GL. Driving up to the mountains tonight the head lights went out...about 20 seconds later the engine died...the key is stuck in the ignition and if i turn it the dash lights (bat,ox, etc...) don't respond. There is no noise at all if I turn the key. At the time I had the rear heater on full, and was running the high-beams...and I may have had the front heater/fan on as well. Any thoughts on what went wrong? fuse? if so I can't figure out which one. In the meantime, the Van is on the side of the road on SR 410 just before the turn up to crystal mt. If you see her, wish her good thoughts. Thanks for the help -- Anthony Boscolo | 206.794.1727 | abosail@gmail.com |
