Huh -- Bentley strikes again.  Not to mention VW.  Why on earth spend the
$3 for the controller circuit if you're not going to use it?  Anyway, the
controller input has to be shorted to either ground or hot  (between the
two pins of the connector if they actually ran the wires back there) or
else it will always signal an overheat/low-coolant situation.  Controller
is black box marked 43, inaccessible on wall above/ahead of fuse
panel.  The tall ones will peg the meter; the squat ones blink the light
but don't peg the meter.  I don't think they had the squat ones until at
least '85.

Anybody have the wiring details?
