i have a '73 mustang and i just swapped my chewed up clock equipped underdash wiring harness for a complete tach harness and cluster. before i started all of my lights worked: head/tail, flashers, turn signals, brake lights. now all that work are the head and tail lights. the flashers, turn signals, and brake lights aren't working. i've checked the glass fuses and replaced the 2 barrel fuses and still not working. any suggestions?

While you were mining under the dash you probably broke a ground wire or made a poor connection come loose.

nope, just found and fixed the problem. thanks to my hanes manual (no thanks to the factory service manual) i didn't check the fuses above the glove box. everything is working now.
