Did a quick search and nothing popped up, and before I start tearing all my wiring apart I figured I would see if anyone has had this issue or had any ideas as to where to start. My 68 recently has no turn signals and no brake lights. Gauges will work, but as soon as you hit the brake, or hit the turn signal, the gauges drop to zero. Its as if they aren't getting enough juice and just freak out. Tested the dynamo and it seems to be working just fine so I'm a little confused. Any ideas? Everything was working great then all the sudden it all went south. I hooked a voltmeter up to a power wire, and when you hit the brakes, all power drops to zero, which I'm assuming is what is happening when you hit the turn signals as well.

EDIT: fixed it, believe wiper motor is shorted internally or somewhere in the circuit, but I don't have the wipers hooked up anyways so I took the circuit out of the equation and its all good.

I was going to tell you to check the grounds from the turn signals . . .
