Standard troubleshooting procedure (I'm a retired mechanic certified ASE on brakes and electrical and that was AFTER a career in Military auto and aviation maintenance).
Start at the symptom.
Work from the symptom towards the power source that it should have.
Don't probe wires with a pointy test lamp or MM "sticker" just go to
the accessible points "up stream". In your bus with build out done
you probably buried the wire harness. If not, there will be connecting
plugs in places along the route of the harness. Probe the pins for the
circuit you're tracing on both sides of each plug.
You can "jump ahead" if you know what you're doing. But is the fuse before or after the switch? If you don't know that you can't know what to look for.
Go to the same store where you got that screwdriver in the first pic and pic up a multimeter and a test lamp. Don't buy the cheapest MM, get one that has at least a 10amp current testing capability. You will end up needing that one day AND those meters are generally auto ranging which is nice....>READ THE MANUAL AND KEEP IT.
