So, looking into this electrical problem.... I got a new rebuilt Bosch generator. The resistance between DF and D+ on this gen is 0, not 3-4 as Jim said it should be. I measured it on Rx1 and triple checked it. The resistance is definitely 0 Is this bad? I was hoping Jims theory of the DF wire grounding would prove evident once I checked the DF wire, but it shows no indication of being grounded. Maybe it was an intermittent, but this is getting a bit pricey to wait and see until it happens again. Putting in new gen so I can take old one to shop and inspect it. Oh yeah, final note. Maybe it was the 2 weeks sitting in the cold, after having been run with only the battery, but when I got back from California, the battery was dead. It was reading 12v when I left. Nothing was left on, no signs of a short. Not a good sign though.Its getting too cold and wet to examine wiring... -- Mike Wodkowski 72 FI SQBK Brooklyn wodkowski@mac.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
