Follow the positive battery lead until you come to a relay, it will probably be quite close to the battery and after the inline fuse. If you follow both the + battery lead and the cable from the 7/13 pin plug, where they meet will be the relay.

Have you tried swapping out the habitation relay?

What do you mean by swap out, we have found the relay but it is soldered?

It shouldn't be. Have you had the van from new? The relay should either be in a holder with the wires connected to it or have the wires connected to the relay with spade connectors. Could you post a picture by any chance?
