germain,
        for the sake of complete understanding these
two relays appear to be identical in appearance.   I
am guessing the one on the outside side controls the
ecu and the one on the inside side controls the fuel
pump.
     am I correct?
also for those of you who want to take a peak, push
the tabs in the back of the box(outside side) and lift
the lid.   Never want to break into your box but use
that light touch       gary

On Vanagon 86 and up (I do not know for the older
Vanagon), this box
contents two relays : Power Supply Relay and Fuel Pump
Realy. The Power
Supply Relay provides battery voltage to the Digifant
E.C.U. The Fuel
Pump
Relay provides battery voltage to the fuel pump,
injectors and other
devices. These realys are activated by the ignition
switch. If one of
these
relays do not work, the motor will not be able to run
at all.
