5/6/2023 0 Comments 1988 vanagon road tripper![]() If it blows when the headlights are on then maybe something isn't right about the relay install. ![]() There shouldn't be much power going through the jumper wire if your headlight relays were correctly installed but I would be cautious since something appears to have burned out that part of the ignition switch. If I was going to jumper power to the yellow/black I would put a fuse in the jumper. The red wire to the switch is constant battery +12 with no fuse.Įdit: I mentioned the lack of a fuse to warn you. If you put +12 power to the black/yellow wire of the ignition switch that should power up all those things you were missing. Would it be ok to pull the wire off the ignition switch that is on the bad side and run a power wire to it with a toggle switch to apply power? and is it + or - power going thru it? Just till we get somewhere where I can try to get this part or order it in ? We are in a small town before Bryce Canyon, Utah. I have been chasing my tail with this one. The switch goes under the part that takes the key. The switch is common to many other VWs so that makes it cheaper and easier to find one.ĭon't buy the part that takes the key, that is not the switch part. You don't have to fully install it in order to use it so that I what I suggest doing at this time.Īll of the things you say don't work are on the same internal switch of the 4 switches. It is an inexpensive part and you can use a couple screwdrivers to hook it up and keep moving. That is why you can still start and drive. ![]() The ignition switch actually has 4 different switches inside and 1 usually goes bad while the other 3 still work for a while. Those symptoms add up to a bad ignition switch. I have power to the high beam realy but non to head light.Įngine starts and runs fine, alternator charging fine. Head lights, installed dual relays from gowesty. going to start poking around with my volt meter and see if I can find the issue but if there are any thoughts on this one great. Anyone have anythoughts on where to start looking? I checked fuses and ground blocks. We are on a 21 day road trip and today we had a assortment of electrical failures.
