Blinking blinkers, or rather not....

Flushed with success in finding indicator lens (thanks all who got in touch) I set to and made one good wiper motor from two, in time for MoT appointment . Imagine my surprise and horror that the indicators failed on the way, aaargh!and I'm now 60 miles from home. Several hours of randomly poking about later, no joy so am desperately calling on the Roof community to help me out again. What confuses me is that it was sudden and appears to be no power at switch, which otherwise looks OK :-(

My bus number (if any): 1842

Re: Blinking blinkers, or rather not....

Would be interesting to hear how the amazing Sir Timothy Barrington (wot a nice helpful and very knowledgeable young chap) cured the problem - was it anything to do with the ancient corroded terminal block under the stairs?

My bus number (if any): RML2302
