I have one in my 81 as well. There are two(or is it three) fuses, and a
circuit breaker in the outside chance that you haven't checked on all of
them. One of the fuses is in the smaller panel right of the big long fuse
panel. Years ago, when I first got the van, the heater stopped working and
I thought I was screwed until I stumbled across the circuit breaker under
the dash, below, and behind the heater/timer knob. It has a small red
button/switch on it for resetting.

I hope its that simple. How come those heaters test out fine all summer
long, but when you need em...........? :-)
