Hi, I'm new to skoolie stuff, and I've not a clue about anything electrical that has to do with busses. My bus is a 1998 Chevrolet Express G3500 Cutaway bus. Here are the pictures of the electrical panel. Thank you for any help!

That yellow box is the flashing control box for the red and yellow lights for when passengers are picked up and dropped off.

Post #2 has a Weldon pdf doc that will explain more.

I have a 2003 ad ripped all of that out. Some of the wire went to the bcm which I just capped and some ran to back of bus controlling clearance and marker lights. They ran off one of the relays and they also controlled the clearance and marker lights in the front. All of those lights leaked and I replaced them with new leds and ran 16 ga wire to back and front and connected them to a fuse under hood that only lit up when ignition was on. I saved all that junk and the wire is good BUT DON'T DO WHAT I DID. You figure it out on your own and make the decision. In later models, that might have been a bus killer. Download the wire diagrams for 1998-2003 chevy express 3500 for the markers etc. Mine came from a school district and they may have messed with the harness to the rear and it may pose other issues I did not face.
