Hello all, I've had and fixed(?) a problem on my '87 Vanagon. The
problem was that the light on the coolant temperature gauge starting
blinking as I was going down the road. I checked my coolant it was
very full, the temp gauge indicated a rising temperature. However as
I headed on the highway towards home the temperature would drop back
down to under the light, which was still blinking. I thought well my
electric cooling fan had quit. At home, I checked the electrical
connections on the overflow tank, one of which had some corrosion on
its contacts and the connector, I reseated both of them  and then
went and restarted the van. The blinking light went out and the fan
worked as normal, one speed under normal use and then high speed when
the ac was turned on. So was my problem caused by the corrosion on
the connector on top of the tank?
Wondering... Tony
