About a week ago the turn signals, flashers, and park brake indicator light on my 65 stopped working all at once. Fuses and flasher are both A-Ok. The turn signal indicator lights in the dash don't light up at all when the turn signals are actuated. Any ideas on where to look next to diagnose?
In a maybe (or maybe not) related phenomenon, The center two lights in the tail light panel appear to be in brighter "brake" mode all of the time. The adjacent light on either side appear to be dimmer.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'd look at the light switch as a possible culprit. Dash lighting goes through the dimmer of light switch. I have seen the rheostat portion burned.
"Park brake indicator" ?
'65 didn't have it as a standard feature. There was an option available from the dealer though. If you have that option, check for a pinched wire or a faulty switch.

This does sound like a ground issue. The interesting thing is that those center lights are 1157 bulbs like the other four, but the socket is only wired for the lower candle power element of the bulb. So it should not even be able to light.
