Moved to Troubleshooting. IDI Engine is for power enhancement related discussion only.

I was going to scan the diagram from my Bentley manual for you but I just realized that someone is borrowing it :( Someone else here should be able to help..

Hum, not sure why they are not loading for you, they work fine for me.

The links are to PDFs for the glow plug wiring on a  diesel Vanagon, not
sure if that is going to help you after re-reading your original post.

But I don't think the glow plug wiring harness from an Ecodiesel is going to do you much good on a Vanagon.  The glow plug relay and fuse are in the engine compartment on a Vanagon, not under the dash.  If You know someone with a diesel Vanagon I would just take a look at the setup and roll your own harness for the glow plugs.  It is pretty simple.
