Never had this myself... also have a ford chassis but on the ford transit forum there are few members who have had flickering dash.
It's a Ford problem me thinks.

Having (not by choice!) studied this issue at some length, I know, in our case, the the "flashing dash" was the symptom of low battery yoltage - not the direct cause.
When it started to flash, relays were switching all sorts of things on and off and drawing a high current in the process. This in turn reduced the voltage further very quickly.
Ford Assist.(aka The AA) confirm that they have records that show that the electronics on this set up are quite sensitive to battery voltage and when it falls below the trigger point the "flashing dash" starts.
Someome suggested to me that one of the programme upgrades was to make the electronics less voltage sensitive but I don't know how true that is. What I do know is that since the last reprorgamming the HLA has become very unpredictable.......... but that may be just a coincidence.

Problem eventually nailed - I think!
Not a Ford problem after all but a Chausson one: under the rear of the vehicle there is a multi-pin socket dangling from other van wiring and is presumably intended for trailer towing.
I found it full of water because the body was damaged at the cable entry but the cover cap was water tight, not letting the water out. Inside was a very good example of electrolysis!

Also check the 2 rear junction boxes for the rear lights for water and dry solder joints, as my Flash 03 had water in them which had caused a short. IIRC the trailer socket may lead to them.

Had no problems for 2 years now but have had the NSR light cluster partially fill with water twice...................... but changed under guarantee on both occasions

Check that the drain holes are at the bottom, as lots fitted are the LHD version flipped over, so you end up with the drain holes at the top.
You can drill some small drain holes if you need to.
