Listers,

I drove my 66 BJ8 Saturday and Sunday, everything was normal. Glorious =
weather in the North Carolina mountains. Monday everything became =
strange. =20
=20
I put the key in the ignition and started the car in the normal manner. =
I then realized that many things were not working. The car started =
normally, the ignition light came on and went off as it should, =
overdrive works, headlights work, high beam light works, the alternator =
is charging the battery properly and the fuses are not blown. =20
=20
These are the things that I know are not working: gas gauge, turn =
signals, tach, wipers, brake lights and front parking lights (the rear =
are working).
=20
I have looked at the wiring diagram and I am at a loss. Where do I =
start looking for this problem?
=20
Help,
