The old 321-959-481 & 251-959-481 Series switches listed in ye old microfiche films turns on at about 82 to 85C." So, my old Bentley manual shows the diesel low speed switch is supposed to cut in somewhere between 93 and 98 degrees C, while the high speed switch waits until 100 to 106 degrees. Since they haven't imported Vanagon diesels since 1983, they probably haven't given any thought to updating that to something like the 72 degree switch have they? Just as a first measure, switching the leads between the low and the high speed fan circuits to these two switches will at least give the high speed to you if the low speed switch ever gets hot enough to switch the lower temp switch on. Could the person who found a FLAP source for a range of switches that will fit please repost the lead? Thanks. John Wakefield
