I have been having some strange occurances in my '89 Vanagon lately.

Last week, a buzzer that  I assume was the seat belt warning buzzer (I haven't heard it since I bought the van 5 years ago)  kept sounding for no apparant reason. It did this intermittantly for a couple of days. I checked all the relays and fuses below the steering wheel to see if they had good contact.

Now I have my right turn signal blinking at twice the pace  as the left signal. I should also mention that last week I also had a problem with the idle stabilizer, but that problem seemed to right itself when I re-connected the idle stabilizer control unit.

Has anything similar happened to another listmember? Also, how would I check to make sure the relays are functioning properly as I am assuming I have a short somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated,
