Did you check the fuel pump fuse?

My 1982 air cooled Westy has the factory installed auxillary heater.  When I
turn it on the combustion blower and the fresh air fan (the fan that takes
in fresh air from beneath the bench and pushes it through the heater and
into the bus) starts.  The fuel pump does not start.  I bench tested the
fuel pump with a 12 V battery and confirmed that it does work. It seems that
the pump is not getting the signal to do its thing.  As best I can tell this
signal is controlled by a set of points in the combustion blower fan.  I
have pulled the fan, but have not been able to locate these points.  Anyone
have any experience with this?
