When I was installing the new alternator, I noticed that a relay pulls when the battery is connected. The best I can tell is that it is somewhere near the driver's seat. Could be the fuse panel area, or maybe under the sink. This is interesting, since whatever it's for, it's always pulling current when the van is parked. Good thing I have the automatic trickle charger plugged in most of the time. So, what is the relay doing? BTW, the Bentley is just about useless when it comes to the charging system on these vehicles. I was quite disappointed. Anyone have a better reference? tom ------ Tom Ring K0TAR, ex-WA2PHW EN34hx 85 Westphalia GL Albert 96 Jetta GL The Intimidator taring@taring.org "It is better to go into a turn slow, and come out fast, than to go into a turn fast and come out dead."
