Hello again, well this problem appeared again today. I had drove about 30 miles to church, then on several other stops on our way home. After starting up on the last stop it came on again, I checked the coolant and the fan, both are fine. Any ideas? Also where is the brake master cylinder at? I've been told its under the dash but so far all I've found is the fuse box. I do have a maint. manual on order but haven't received it yet. Thanks for your help/info, Tony >Hello all, I've had and fixed(?) a problem on my '87 Vanagon.
