If you examine the circuit diagram with this in mind you'll find that you'll be grounding the DF terminal at the same time that the VR is trying to pull it up to the battery voltage thru one of the regulator contacts. The current this draws is only limited by the resistance of the relay contacts and the wiring. You MIGHT get away with it occasionally, but the more likely outcome is to badly burn the VR contacts, assuring the need for a new VR. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
