I had a similar problem with my '90 and found that the sending wire had fallen against the header pipe. the insulation had burned and the bare wire was grounding against the header pipe. some electrical tape and a cable tie solved my problem, I hope that is all you have to do. I have found the tech articles at the vanagon.com site of great value. Good luck, -Tim Barnegat, NJ 1990 GL |
