Subject:Re: 1991 Vanagon GL passenger -- Fuses 12 and 13 Good, but things don't work -- Update

Thank you to all who replied.  Replacing 12 with a brand new fuse got most
things that Bentley says are on 12 working.  Exceptions are power mirrors and
A/C (but maybe that is someplace else).

Fuse 13 fell apart when I went to remove it.  I got a new fuse into what was
left of the holder and now both front and rear heater blowers work.  Clearly a
new fuse/relay panel is needed.
