I believe they are talking about the fuse/junction block near your left
knee.  Left of the steering column, under the edge of the dash.  By
loosening the mounting screws you can pull it down and get a better look.
 Check for burned or melted places.  There might be just one corroded
connector somewhere.

  Might help to know the year of the van if you're getting a replacement.
