If I could take a look at your engine compartment and take a few
pictures I might be able to sort out some missing connections and make
sure things are set up correctly on mine.

I'm still working on getting my '86 Vanagon back on the road. I've
cleaned several grounds and have pulled the A/C compressor to get to
the ground strap underneath. That's when I discovered the oil pressure
switches (both!) are NOT connected. I don't understand why the idiot
light doesn't come on.

The low pressure switch was not connected. I followed the brown wire
from the switch to a damaged connector. The wire was just jammed in.
The connector appears incomplete due to damage so I cannot tell what
wire should be connected where.

The high pressure switch has a brown wire coming up the front of the
engine several inches then abruptly ends. It looks cut. I have no idea
where this should connect. I cannot find the other end anywhere.

I have spent some time looking through Bentley but it does not provide
a physical location for the wires (that I can find).

Again if I can look at, and take a few pictures of, someone's engine
compartment in or near Indy that would be great!
