Yup. I think "Westfurbia" is going on the stove front plate. ;)
All this , started from a dim oil light bulb. Likely cause: hinky ground wire from the "Dynamic Oil Pressure" "L" board. Regardless, the job needed to be done as did cleaning up the wiring to the "L" board. After my engine swap was running, parts like the "L" board got added so things like wiring, morphed.
As do other enthusiasts, I tend to be in the dash more often than not. Every time the 14 pin connector is pulled off, pushed on, the copper traces on the circuit "board" ribbon risk getting messed up. A more suitable connector(s) with longer leads, should help this.
Am now at the stage where I can actually clean up and start putting tools away. In no particular order, work done:
- TruckFridge install, Dometic front adapted etc.
- wiring to/from fridge

I"m sure there's more. As I wrote the list, more stuff was recalled.
This all happened over the last 2 months or so. For point of reference, I put in a lot of 6 hour days on average. Not every day, but for the last while, nearly every day was a Vanagon work day.
