[Shop-talk] Truck instrument cluster, dash, and parking lights died

[Todd Walke]

         Very common in the VW world for someone to buy a wiring adapter to 
install an aftermarket stereo only to have the Check Engine light come on 
and cause other electrical oddities.
         Problem is, some of these adapters try to put 12v on the CAN bus 
wire in the radio connector which the computers do not like at all.
