Look at the back of your fuse panel on your 85 van.

The output of fuse S1 has 2 male spades. Each gets a grey/black wire
plugged into it, one for the left running light, the other for the left
tail light.

The output of fuse S2 has 2 male spades. Each gets a grey/red wire
plugged into it, one for right front running light, the other for right
rear tail light.

Someone could easily cross two of the above wires. Everything would
still work, but the function of the fuses would be crossed up, like you
say yours was. Human error if so. Not a Bentley error. My 85 has the
exact wire config above, matching the Bentley perfectly, I just dropped
down the fuse box to check.
