A quick look at the German version of the Bentley shows nothing in
relay spot #4. Just for laffs, I looked at Bentley for golf/jetta
'85-92. Looking at the models that share fuse panel with vanagon,
likely candidate is upshift indicator relay :)

vanagons didn't have that of course.

so maybe you have a relay stuck in there for fun, or someone rewired
back connections and it does something wonderful, ,or you miscounted :)

Thanks Mark, the van is in a friend's garage so I'll have to check the
relays later - probably Tuesday. The relay had the number 19 upside
down.

Tach pulses sound about right - does that spot get a relay if I add a
tach
to the dash?
