It would be some little help to know what kind on Vehicle this was.
#1) Ignition off -- Park lights should work
#2) Ignition on, Headlights and Park Lights should work.
#3) From there turn the ignition off the park lights should stay on.
It sounds like you need to just re plug everything into the fuse block
again (correctly this time), most of the relays are mounted in the fuse
block.
Best deal would be to get a local VW Vanagon guy with the same model as
yours and just drop his fuse panel far enough to see all the connections
and same for yours. Have him call out the wire color starting at #1
terminal and go across.
Or plunge into the wiring diagram , PITA.
Then in reality ............. check all the ground wires, add a few if
required, you may just be feeding back through something.
