If not, the problem is in the sol. I have taken these apart on occasion and fixed things, but it requires unsoldering some connections. If that works, it could be the switch, but there are a couple of other possibilities. Is there some place where you could disconnect the wire that goes from the switch to the sol? If so, do this and measure the voltage on the switch side when you turn the key, then touch the sol side to the batt + term to see if the sol works now. That can help you decide which side the problem is on. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
