Weird wiring seems to come standard on VWs.  I learned to drive in a
1978 Rabbit.  With the ignition off, there was no power to the radio,
but if you pulled on the high-beam lever the radio would come on.

Subject: Electrical Question -Hazards/Parking Lights

While we're talking about the parking lights and hazards, I've noticed
something a bit strange.

If I turn off my ignition, then my radio turns off.  Seems normal.  But
if I
turn on the hazards while the engine is off, the radio comes back on.

Anybody else experience this?
Is this just a common van quirk?
