Tech Notes
The main circuit board includes a new -designed dual oil pressure monitoring circuit with an audible alarm. This replaces the stock (and aging) dual oil pressure monitoring circuit located in the speedometer housing. If you have an early-model Vanagon without the dual oil pressure monitoring circuit, this feature can be easily disabled with the flip of a small dip switch on the main circuit board.
