It might not be the heater plugs. That light serves as a fault light so can indicate a variety of faults. Best to get it connected to a diagnostic tool to identify the fault.

You can check the heater plugs before you buy new ones!

The heater plug light doubles as an engine management light on those vans and the door contact switch on the drivers door can also cause this light to come on.
