Good luck Bill. Earth faults are sometimes difficult to find but I'm sure with the help of the wee man you will have no problem (y)(y)

I have three of them fighting for my attention so tomorrow I will play a gam spot the black wire attached to the body of the van the one that finds the most gets a prize

Yes, good luck, devil's to find. Jiggling connections might help.

You've had a busy day Bill! Going in the right direction though. You will get it sorted, nothings sets you back for long.
 
Fund the fault thanks to @Jaws looks like a connection had come adrift on the fuse box apparently it's a common fault with the older MK1 Ducato .
Will have to do a bit of crawling around under the dash board tomorrow
