Check to see if you dont have one of your wires grounded that shouldnt be. If you are running stock guage cluster, they should be frame grounded at the socket.

I had to correct a similar issue with my dome light because I thought one wire was a ground and it wasnt. The two wires going to my dome are orange=constant hot....white=controled hot thru the headlight control switch.

Your turn signals are either a ground issue, or a bulb issue. Sometimes but not always it will be a socket issue. On these old rigs, one bad bulb or socket will muck up the entire blinker system.

Hope that helps, if not I hope you post what the solution was ....... always game to learn a new trouble shooting trick on these builds !!
