In my original request, I told my tale of woe that my brights are stuck on
even with the ignition switch turned off.  It appears that there is no relay
for this circuit.  Kent Christensen suggests that the flasher may be the
culprit.  This (like the relay idea) makes sense as it seems to be "relay-
type" problem--pulling the fuses and replacing "resets" the system, and
temporarily solves the problem.  Does anyone know, is the flasher switch a
common flasher (like the one on all the GM cars I have owned), or is this a
complex flasher unique to VW's?  I assume it is located somewhere near the
fuses??  Again, this is an 83.  Thanks for all the suggestions.
