Do they possibly share a harness ground, being in the same general area of
the vehicle?  Just a newb question.

It seems sometimes that the axis of the cosmos is wired through the ignition
switches of some later VW watercooleds so maybe Vanagon ig switches are the
same way?

  That's "What the HECK!" btw.

First the headlights go, then the wipers go belly up!! When ordering up a
new headlight switch, I did - on advice from The List - order in a new
ignition switch to have as a spare. Can anyone confirm for me that wiper
problems are ignition switch related?? Am I going to immediately get to
install that ignition switch too?

Thanks,

John
