Dot, does your bus bus or your little car have any LED lamps fitted? If yes, then the doda thingo that Bernie put up, has failed. There will be one for each side, but only if you have LED'S. If no, then that's not the issue. You only need the doda thingo if you have LED lamps somewhere.
The real name for the doda thingo is a 21watt resistor. :D

Geoge here the bus has leds however only one side is flickering also without any changed factors the flickering has just started and when I look at the apparent complexity of the relays and wiring I realised that making an appointment with the local auto electrician would save me a lot of time and agro

Did you get it sorted George? There is an electronic flasher relay available that blinks at the required rate no matter how many globes are in the circuit. Been around for yrs, used a lot in the truck industry because they can have a wide range of bulbs at any one time so Hella developed a flasher can for them.

No Terry all of those wires is a bit too much for us so will keep appointment with the auto man and he will also check the batteries as well.

yours may be easier to fix as there is a lot of years between vehicles. When will you be home?
