I use to have the same problem, brakes,wiper,turn signel, gas & volt guage
would all quit. ( all on same fuse, TR6) Play with the wires off fuse box
and they would come back. ( the spade connector on the box was a little
loose and sometimes would loose contact.) I eventually replaced the fuse
box and problem went away.
I have also seen fuses that look OK, actually be not ok.
