OK - due to popular demand (and the hope that my
vanagon will make it home at lunch time) I will pull
open the steering column and see which wire it is...

The hope is because my oxs/batt light won't go off,
and I am betting on a new alternator within the next
few days :(

Then I might as well do the springs and brakes while I
am at it... <<sigh>> Then I have to build the
sub-woofer box ((double sigh))

I guess re-wiring my Scirocco has jumped up in
priority very quickly...
