I think this may be where your problem starts. My 87 & 88 Vanagons have the second port inside the plactic cover that runs from the floor to the ceiling at the left/rear corner of the van. You can remove the cover easily with about 6 phillips-head screws. I would bet that your 1990 model DOES have two ports and that you need to uncover the second one.
