It's certainly possible that the fuse is a later innovation. The 12V rear covers always had a tape sticker on them which warned, in German, not to use anything other than the proper low melting point solder to repair this fuse. At least you should have a fuse now that you've swapped in the 12V solenoid. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
