Subject:headlights not working after towing???
From:David Most

I have a puzzle for which I hope the list can offer some assistance.  I
just moved from New Orleans back to Fort Collins, CO, and I used a car
carrier behind a Penske truck to bring my vanagon with me.  All appears
to have arrived in Colorado intact, but for some reason the headlights
(both low and high) don't come on when the switch is operated.  The high
beam indicator on the dash works, and all of the parking lights/turn
signal lights/reverse lights work.  All other electrical appliances work.
 The fuses all look good.

So, any ideas what's going on?  I've towed the vanagon like this over
longer stretches without this problem arising.  It would be great to have
some guidance before I just start replacing parts, and I realize that the
towing and headlight failure could just be coincidental.

Thanks,
David

By the way, in eight years of owning vanagons, I've never had to replace
a headlight bulb.  Any instructions in this regard (whether or not this
is the problem) would be much appreciated.
