Thanks!  I just traced the wire (tried this before but I guess it had to
wait until I could look like an idiot for the whole list before I was
successful)--as Mark suggested, it did end up wired to the aux battery, and
the line that delivers power from that battery is fused, and the fuse is
blown.

So, off to get a replacement and re-test.  We jumpered power to the
flashers and they work, so if this fuse is all we need (I've had the
battery in/out, dash off, etc, very possible I shorted something without
knowing it somewhere in the process), we might be able to get this puppy
inspected today!

Thanks for the help!
