For this style, probably all it needed was the fuse repair. These fuses blow when the car is left with the battery in it when the car is in storage. The battery slowly runs down until it isn't even strong enough to wind the clock. At this point the solenoid draws current continuously and blows the fuse. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
