TR6 Turn/flasher help

After driving my TR6 a few hours, the brake warning sign came about five minutes from home. Checked for leaks at the brake valve, and cleaned corresponding leads. The brake light doesn't come on now when I start the engine, but now I have no turn lights or emergency flasher. I seem to remember some unique electrical pathways tied into the brake indicator light. Can anyone offer some suggestions on how to locate the problem? Thanks in advance for any help.

On the 69 there wasn't a lot there
Were you playing behind the dash recently Kevin
Did you check the fuse panel
The oil and the Brake get the power from the same source. That's it

That makes sense, Don. I wasn't behind the dash, but that doesn't mean one of the wires didn't come loose. It has finally stopped raining, so I will push it out into the driveway and take a look tomorrow. I'll let you know what I find. Either way, thanks.

Rain? We are about to break all records for March rainfall. Stopped long enough to push it out in the driveway today. The flasher was not working consistently. Put in a spare and everything works, except that the flasher warning light doesn't work. The bulb is good, so I'm baffled-any ideas?

Which flasher
The turn signal one under the pass. side or the hazard one in the eng. bay?

The emergency flasher was not working consistently. Even when it works, the emergency flasher warning light doesn't come on. Replace flasher in engine bay?

The next question would be.
Do you have it wired correctly
There was a diagram someone posted for a modern flasher for the early cars

It was working correctly for a number of years, so I do think it is wired correctly. I will double check how things are hooked up when I get home. Besides the flasher, I guess I could look at grounding issues.
