If the wiring diagram doesn't help, double check your
ground. I had one dead light for a while due to a bad
ground... had to make my own in the drivers footwell.
I didn't find the installation totally easy - It took
quite a while for me with my limited electrical
knowledge to figure out which holes were the right
ones on the back of the fuse panel.
fwiw - the plastic housing doesn't really go over the
turn signal. The turn signal clips into the housing
the same way it clipped into the body metal of the
van. If you try to put the ffog housing over the turn
signal you probably will have problems. I have been
going with one of the grille screw tabs broken off for
almost a year with no problems.
