Sounds like a ground issue to me. Old VWs never die but their grounds
corrode up and loose continuity ;)
I would go through everything checking for loose connections and remove
every ground (and fuse) to make sure that there was good bright contact.

Subject: [tcb] Poltergeist.
If only I could find a guy who would be as determined to keep my life
interesting as the poltergeist who lives in Donner. I thought he was gone
but that's a big nope.
Remember my horn had magical powers? My Bus would quit running but beeping
the horn could bring Donner back to life. Well I thought this craziness was
gone. On my way to the Classic last year, Donner turned off while driving
and the horn beeping trick did not help. I switched out the electronic
ignition on the side of the road and it seemed as of the poltergeist left
for good.
A few weeks ago, my brights stopped working. At Air Coolers a friend helped
by getting a wire back into the right place in the headlight relay and
everything seemed perfect. That is until a bunch of bikers encouraged me to
beep my horn while I was driving today. I gave them what they wished for
and after that my turn signals were kaputt.
If I try to use my turn signals, they do not work and my alternator light
goes on and my fuel gauge drops way below empty and it stays this way. If I
turn the Bus off, my warning lights do not light up when turning the key. I
can correct the problem by turning my key to the place where the warning
lights should light up and I beep the horn and the warning lights come on
and the gas gauge returns to the proper place. Everything remains fine
(except for not having turn signals) unless out of habit I try to use the
turn signals.
Ugh!
