Hi All,
I would really like to thank David Beierl
for his help with a oil buzzer problem I was having on my 90.
Turned out to be a simple fix. A bad connector in the engine bay.
But the path to find that bad connector was long!
David stuck with me in searching, testing and tracing circuits.
I really appreciate his time!
And in the end, I gained a greater understanding
of our bus wiring circuits.
And especially the instrument, 'cluster' ;o)
Before, I couldn't even figure out how to get from one page to the next
in the Bentley, tracing the wiring.
And then, there is the associated pages that give even further info
on the particular circuit.
In the end, even with all of the frustration
it began to be kind of fun figuring it out.
Doing the detective work and
testing instead of replacing parts,
eliminating one branch after the other.
Thanks again Dave !!!
The list is a better place with ya here bud !!! :o)
My thanks to All of the Moderators on all of the various lists that surround
our Vanagons.
They've got to be doing it for the love of our beasts !!! ;o)
It certainly doesn't pay $$$ all that well !!! heh... :o)
& also all of you rough characters ;o)
that hang out here too !!!
We be Motley Crew !
best,

A motley crew is a cliché for a roughly-organized assembly of characters.
Typical examples of motley crews are pirates, Western posses, rag-tag
mercenary bands or freedom fighters. They may align with, be (as a group),
or include either the protagonist or the antagonist of the story.
A group of people of mixed background, especially one with a common goal

I ain't never seen 'em, but my common sense tells me the Andes is foothills,
and the Alps is for children to climb! These here is God's finest
scupturings! And there ain't no laws for the brave ones! And there ain't no
asylums for the crazy ones! And there ain't no churches, except for this
right here! And there ain't no priests excepting the birds. By God, I are a
mountain man, and I'll live 'til an arrow or a bullet finds me. And then
I'll leave my bones on this great map of the magnificent...
