I'm driving an 86 Vanagon  with the standard 2.1L engine.  As a note it has
been cold (+5 down to -10) at night for a few days. So here is where I am
at.

The van starts, but the headlights, front and rear wipers, and the front and
rear heater blowers do not.  The parking lights, 4 ways, courtesy lights,
and radio all work.

Also, if I turn on the headlights and then cycle the headlight dimmer
switch, and hold it on in the flash position, then everything works, at
least as long as I hold the switch on.  As soon as I release the switch, it
all quits again.

I would appreciate any suggestions.  It's cold outside and I need the
accessories to work.
