This is a great start, but does anyone have anything Vanagon specific?
I'm a mechanical klutz I just need to know "the blue wire goes...".
There are two tan wires, I understand they are ground but where should
they ground to? Anyone in London Ontario able to swing by for five
minutes? Or anyone out there able to take a photo of thier Alternator
& PS pump wiring?
