Ok, I have had this same exact problem in my '77
Those are all on the same common fuse (the back lights gave it away) Bet
your blower motor doesn't work as well. Take the fuses out, take some fine
sandpaper or a scotchbrite pad and clean the fuse holders. Bend them in to
be a little tighter on the fuse, if the fuses are old, clean the metal ends
to shiny them up as well.
Snap them back on and everything should work again.
Do you notice them working/not working when you hit bumps in the road?

71 BGT gauges work intermittently -- I don't suspect the stabilizer, as when
they quit working, they all quit. I assume there is a common ground that
they operate from? The speedometer brackets are almost impossible to reach
behind the dash and I know the ground on the speedometer is not entirely
secure. Would the lack of proper ground here cause all gauges to go out?
Also, brake lights do not work. Should I suspect the brake light switch or
is there a common ground associated with these that I should investigate
first?
