Group,

The problem with you van maybe a resistor behind your driver's headlight. Remove the grill. Then the four screws holding the light bracket. On the right you'll see a green resistor, approximately 5 watts, hooked to a small wiring harness. If the resistor is burnt or cracked, it is bad. It is a VW part. I had to replace mine about 3 weeks ago for the third time. The resistor sells for about $26.00. The VW part number is 251 971 284H.

This resistor controls the fan speed for cooling the engine.
