The complete system works, except for the lights. I do have a slight leak at
the tank, I can hear it hissing after I have driven the van. Still, the locks
work, all controlled by the switches. Both locks engage, you have to drive it
to engage them, and I can without problem feel that the locks engage. The only
problem is that the rear light doesn't light, and the front light doesn't
blink before it engages. It is lit when the front lock has engaged.
