Thanks John for the outcome report.
It looks like Mark Drillock gets the prize for winning suggestion on this one. I had no idea the flashers and the emergency light had another fuse.
I’ve had changing fuses fix several recent problems on both my vans.
From a flasher, to the instrument night lights, to the aux batteries on my 84. All fixed by changing a fuse and the problem not returning.
So, I keep every fuse imaginable in my van these days.
Thanks, and good travels.
