"'tradegy' is a pretty strong word."

The tragedy is in breaking something while successfully fixing something else, as I seem to have done as well with my odo and the high beam indicator light (blue foil related).

hi.
'tradegy' is a pretty strong word.
thought someone got killed.

does sound like the Dynamic Oil Pressure System connections got damaged.
which means you might be� missing high and low rpm oil pressure warning,
and evidently, charging warning -� if the battery symbol light doesn't come
on when you turn on the key.

and the oil light should flash steadily when you turn on the key ( not start
the van ) .

durn thangs.
