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.
