Default Flasher/Electrical Problems

Hi Everyone,

Haven't logged in for a while, hopefully using correctly. I have a '74, trying to wrap up the interior. I replaced the engine compartment harness, but left all the other harnesses in place. I am running into a few problems:

1. With the lights on, the drivers side flasher is slow... and the dash light stays on when the flasher is not activated... I replaced bulbs, checked grounds, etc.

2. The e brake light would not disengage the other day. Even with it discoinnected completely from it's grounded location it was still on. Now, after replacing the harness, it doesn't work at all.

3. There are a few misc plugs I dont know what they are... A long orange and a long tan. I tried tracing them on a diagram, can't figure it out. The tan had keyed 12v, the orange is dead.

ANy help would be appreciated!
