Hoping dad Yucel and I will figure the wiring out.
Yucel seems to think it has to do with the front parking/turn signals.

That is not what I said...Actually, I think it might be the hazard switch or flasher relay.  We will find out...

Thanks Shawn!  I was just checking out the map.... looks like we are going to meet you at Angie's.  That's a lot of extra driving from the Nacle.  Are you sure it takes 2 hrs to get to Gap from the bridge? Just trying to estimate what time you'll be getting to the restaurant...

Does that mean we'll have to deal with that big a** hill in DE with a million lights on it like we did last year?!

This from the man who climbed the "Hill of Death" leaving Granny's last year?

Ok folks, last weekend till GGB11.  This is the weekend to button up any problems with your bus and give it a wash/vacuum & oil change.

LOL @ "hill of death" references ROFL)

VW Bus = Tree Climber

Our bus safely climbed Mt. Washington, the Rockies, Mt. Rainier , Mt St Helens, Green Mountains, Cascades mountains, Cadillac Mountain(awesome view),the Pacific Coast Highway and a dozen other giant/steep mountains (yes its air-cooled and no it didn't break down*)

1/2 the battle is HOW you drive the hills/mountains.

What really grinds my gears is hills with lots of lights, "hill of annoying lights"

for me the first year at Millmont it wasn't the climb but the trip down the other side and the minimal brakes left at the bottom of the hill despite my best efforts to use them sparingly.

Went to adjust the rears the other day only to tear a significant gash out of the Swiss cheese formerly known as the backing plate. So instead of getting to visit with you guys over there I'm swapping out the right rear brake assembly   violin&

The DE hill was worse than the hill in PA... That I accidently took. I hate being on a hill with lights with an asshat right on my bumper.

Erik, Tyler and myself disagree. Steady incline for at least a half mile.
