Larry, I'm still pretty new at this too,  but one thing I'm finding, most
problems like that are a ground problem.  There are two clusters of grounds
behind the fuse panel, right on the lower left back corner. One fellow
refered to them as daiseys, there are two side by side.  Drop those two
screws that hold the fuse panel and let the panel fall down... they are
right there.

Subject: [SPAM] 1985 Vanagon - interior dash gauges (fuel, water
level/temp., etc.)

My daily driver Vanagon has an on/off/on again electrical problem with my
dash gauges.....

They usually work well but occasional, like now, I have no fuel gauge, water
temp., etc.

I'm fixing to take a trip and I know after 20 minutes "on the road" my
gauges will turn on
and work well throughout the rest of the trip./.....

Any ideas.......grounds?....etc.
