 COVERED BY OUR  2 YEAR / 24 MONTH WARRANTY!
 
The 8491B Battery Saver Kit is supplied with an assembled and tested circuit board ready to install in your Vanagon. How many times have you forgotten to switch your headlight switch OFF when you left your Vanagon parked for an extended period, only to return to a dead battery? This has happened to me more than once, and working swing shift makes things even worse. I arrive at the BART station around 10AM, normally daylight, and get back to the station at 930PM, normally dark. Wasting time trying to find a Good Samaritan, and messing around with jumper cables is really not fun, after working a ten hour shift, and trying to get back home. The "Bat Saver" will remind you to click that headlight switch OFF with a pulsing ten second audible alarm. After that it assumes that you want to leave the lights on for some reason, and shuts off. Convienient if you drive in with your lights on for safety reasons, rain, or fog, when the lights are difficult to see from outside your van. The board mounts just under the instrument cluster cover on your speedometer housing. Three wires, prepared with the necessary connectors are included, and connect the Battery Saver to your headlight switch and one ground screw, making the installation straight forward. The circuit is isolated from your wiring with two 5A FB fuses, and a 7805 regulator. All required connector, splices, and wires are included for you to install on all Vanagons. Detailed instructions cover both 1984 - 85 and 1986 - 91 models. Pick up one of these neat kits, and forget "Headlight Switch Headache".
