The fuse lives under the driver's seat.  And the Bentley's wiring
diagram is only correct for your Vanagon in the '82 and '85 editions.
Later editions have the later USA two fuse on the door pillar diagram.
Stan Wohlfarth of Bentley says that they'll put the old diagram back in
in the next edition.

Leopards break into the temple and drink to the dregs what is in the
sacrificial pitchers; this is repeated over and over again; finally it
can be calculated in advance, and it becomes part of the ceremony.
