I had a similar problem with my BMW 2002. The mechanism inside the turn signal relay was seized. I simply popped off the cover and freed up the parts. I don't know how easy it is to get into a Vanagon relay but if new one is only $8 you might as well tear it open. -John '85 Silver Sunroof '91 GTi 2.0 8v '76 BMW 2002
