Also check the fuseblock itself - the rivet connections tend to show poor
contact when having had a long service life. It's pricy, but it is worthwile
to check - replace!

Jay,
Check your wiring at the second fuse from the bottom on the fuse block.
Assuming all is original this is the fuse that protects the circuit for
the brake lights, turn signals, tach and gages. There may be a bad
connection with a lot of resistance that only shows up with a large load
like when yo uput on the brake lights or turn signals. This is the green
wire circuit. Hope this helps.
