There are two different headlight switches for Vanagon: Early: # 251-941-531M (1980-1990) Late: # 251-941-531T (1989-1991)
From the front they look and function identically. However, they are slightly but significantly different on the back. The early style switch has only 8 pins, while the late style switch has 10 pins.
The 10 pin option

Troubleshooting Vanagons is always interesting . And iffy . Your product with a little modification worked wonderfully.

Built well! Looks like its OEM! My original works fine, but has it's moments. I got one as a backup.
