Dear Scott,

Why on earth should the Vanagon be the only vehicle on the planet
with a manually controlled radiator fan?  I've been struggling to
understand this for a decade or more.  And I think the light would be
better employed to remind you that the laser cannon are still powered up. ;-)

Yours,
David
ps -- on an automatic I'd use the spare position in the light panel
for a green/yellow/red LED monitoring transmission temp.  On a Westy
I'd run a flame monitor up there for the fridge.  If the OXS light
had to go, tough toenails.
