I am  wondering if anyone has had a problem I currently have in my  '82
Vanagon.  I find the green direction indicator LED in the  instrument panel
remains on dimly all the time.  It flashes OK when I  indicate, but whether
the instrument lights are on or off, the green light  stays lit.  It isn't
too obvious in daylight, but sure is during the  day.

Yes, I have the same occurrence in my '87  Westy.  Most likely you have
changed the signal flasher unit. The problem  is that some aftermarket signal
flasher units are not compatible with the  VW system.  Get a genuine VW flasher
unit and your problem will go  away.
