Hi all,

Given my Westy's propensity to idle up and down in the cold weather,
I've taken to letting it warm up some in the mornings.  This morning, as
I was watching the back of the van, oh, I don't know, maybe hoping some
spark of inspiration will hit me, I noticed a wire hanging down near the
exhaust pipe on the driver's side.  Hunh?  I shut her down, opened up
the back and looked inside, but I couldn't find where this wire is
supposed to connect to.  It comes out of the wiring harness just in
front of and below the ignition coil and appears to be green and yellow
(or white).  Any ideas?  I also noticed that the dealer left the black
box open in the front, driver's side of the engine compartment.  It
looked as if everything in there was just wires and connectors.  What do
they go to?

Really, I am going to figure this stuff out some day . . .  :^)  I will
become much more intimately familiar with this stuff when the weather
gets a bit warmer because I've decided that the technicians at the
dealership don't know squat and there's nobody else in town that'll
touch a Vanagon.  Oh if only I had a heated garage . . . for that
matter, I'd take an unheated garage at this point.  At least I have a
paved driveway . . . spent way too many days of my youth lying in the
dirt under my truck . . .

Thanks y'all,
Marc Perdue
