We should be so lucky <rueful grin>.  The controller on the vans with that
panel (pre '86?) is mounted on the cabin wall, above and forward of the
panel (near the ground connections).  There is also a relay there, I think
it may be the X-contact relay.  Anyway, it's a real stinker to get at with
the dash installed.  I think you can see it if you take the instrument
panel cover off and shine a light to the left down inside -- it's the one
with "43" stamped on it in white.  I think someone recently removed it by
taking out the fresh-air grill on that side and working through the hole --
don't think it was the defroster outlet, that's way to small to get a hand in.

The socket you pointed to is what used to hold the key buzzer until someone
removed it.  Not the Mexican Hat Dance like the later ones, just a buzzer.
