no brake light turn signals

[66kaiserld1d]

Just purchased a 66 kaiser m35a2 drove it about 700 miles no problems then i get it back home to it down pouring and then the turn signal indicator stopped and then i check all the lights have all running lights and dash lights... just purchased the service manual but have to wait for it to arrive any help would be great, have never touched a military vehicle only over the road trucks and cars and whatnot i am very much electrically inclined. i have not checked anything yet, any direction to go in? im guessing problem with the turn signal switch ? what is the power flow? from 3 lever to turn signal and brake switch? helllp thanks

Start by cleaning the grounds and looking for insulation breaks.

i figured it out the turn signals was the ground on the firewall on the flasher unit itsself the large ground and the brake lights there was a crack in the plastic ball inside the switch which i was wondering why the air pressure would drop in like 4 hours... till the buzzer came on how annoying that device is , but i cleaned every ground on the truck and also cleaned out every connector and used some dieelectric greese on everything thanks guys for the tips
