Sounds like my setup.  I have an '80 westy.  There is no switch
on the front of the panel with the LEDs, but there is an LED in
the centre where other people have a tiny switch.  I have two
bundles of wires that snake through the cabinet under the sink.
Each bundle has a male-female plug connector aprox. half way in
the visible part.   They look similar (but bigger) to the power
plugs on the *inside* of a computer (ie from the power source to
the HD).  When storing the van for any time more than 2 weeks or
so, I need to reach in and unplug the two sets of connectors.
One set is literally behind the sink.  I had a heck of time
finding it the first time - I had a bundle of wires that ended
in a plug, and I couldn't find the other matching plug for the
longest time.  If yours is like mine, look for under the sink.
