I vote for Ken's ideas.  I have an extra switch if you don't. Pmail me, I'm
in north Seattle if you need it.

Bring a snow shovel to dig it out!  It may be towed if the plows think it's
in their way, or buried if it's not.

For those who don't know, Cristal Mtn is a ski resort, and this van is
around 4000 feet, next to Mt. Rainer in a snow storm today.

Good luck,

Stuart

Hi all,

This is my first post so I will try to be as clear as possible. I have an
1986 Syncro GL.
Driving up to the mountains tonight the head lights went out...about 20
seconds later the engine died...the key is stuck in the ignition and if i
turn it the dash lights (bat,ox, etc...) don't respond.  There is no noise
at all if I turn the key.

At the time I had the rear heater on full, and was running the
high-beams...and I may have had the front heater/fan on as well.

Any thoughts on what went wrong? fuse?  if so I can't figure out which one.

In the meantime, the Van is on the side of the road on SR 410 just before
the turn up to crystal mt. If you see her, wish her good thoughts.

Thanks for the help
