2016 BB conventional.

Bus has intermittent dash power issues. I've checked everything that tech has asked, no solution yet.

Is there a history of the dash itself being the problem?

I know some guys around here that have replaced more than a couple of those Actia dashes. 2016 can mean a lot of things with Blue Bird. Is it over a year old/12,000 miles? In other words, is it out of warranty?

It is over a year old, 14,000 miles. BB tells me the dash is 2 year warranty.

I know when we got our buses, they had some minor electrical issues. The bus could be off and key out of the ignition and if you step on the brake, it was like turning the key to "on". That's the only thing I've encountered with them.

I thought so too, but my BB dealer says it has to be proven to be a faulty dash.
How is that possible with an intermittent fault?
BB says wiring issues are out of warranty, and blame the problem on wiring.

I think I'd be inclined to take it back to the dealer and let them figure it out.

Why yes, the ORIGinal CHARGER is a Fastback

BB/Actia recommend a software update to the dash.
