Has anyone else had problems with the dash mounted switches for the dash fan
and rear heater fan?  Seems that they keep melting in one of the on
positions.  Currents are not very high so I am guessing that it is just a
poor design in the plastic of the switches.

Got the compression up on the Vanagon.  Put on the new catalytic converter
and it passed smog.  Still has a small idle problem but with all of the
discussion on the list thus far, I should have enough information to attack
the idle problem.  Cold start seems to be working.  Started working after
the cat was installed so I am guessing that there was some backpressure that
was not occurring that was needed.  With that present, everything seems to
be working.  Interesting engine and vehicle this Vanagon but I like is just
the same.
