It's there now and I said the same. This is the guy who said my trinary
switch was bad so I got a new one and that is not working  either, but the
old one seems to semi-cool the van.  He has a rep with all vehicles and
custom hot rods, just not alot of VWs so I really cannot say it is his
fault. I am gonna leave it there till we fix the fuse issue and I get it
back as I left it. Then I will continue to check all fuses and switches per
Bentley. there are three fuse suspects and I haven't checked a relay in the
c pillar and one behind the left front dash vent..  I am just going
backwards here from when the a/c only hal;f-sucked to full suck and fire
hazard. ;-)
P.S Can I say suck on the list?
