I�m having a bit of a strange thing happen with the electrical system in my
van.  When I put the key in and turn on the lights, everything is fine, but
once I start the van up, the headlights are on but my standard instrument
cluster lights go out.  I have 3 VDO�s that turn on and off normally witht
he instrument cluster, but for some reason, the glitch doesn�t effect them,
they are on with the engine running or not.  The whole things got me totally
confused.  Any thoughts?

I should mention that I recently had the alternator rebuilt to 120 A and put
in a new battery.  Had no problems for the first month and now this.  One
other thing that may or may not apply is that it happened right after a
really hard rain.  No rain in the interior as far as I can tell.  Just
thought I should throw that in.

Help!
