Stan: I'm afraid I know exactly how much work and maintenance it takes. This is my third VW. I have done plenty of work on the Beetle and Bus I had...it's just that I have an aversion to messing with electrical current. I seem to attract electricity, and it bites.

I suppose I'll know it's right if it works when I pick it up. ;) And I'm fortunate enough to live in Wichita, Kansas, home to John Byers at The VW Shop. He's a wizard!

Thanks for the tip...I have the Idiot book, and I'll look it up tonight.

Best regards,
Carmody
