I guess I'm having trouble understanding how so many different things all failed at the same time. But, it is Italian and it is old.
Thanks Brian.

I guess I'm having trouble understanding how so many different things
all failed at the same time. But, it is Italian and it is old.

Fuse 12 provides power with ignition on to the brake lights and
reversing lights.
It also provides power to the blinkers, water, temp, oil pressure
gauges, so if they work and it is wired up per factory, it should not
be the fuse.
The PE fuse panel also would show a red led if the fuse is blown, you
can pull that fuse with the ignition on and it should light.
The wires to brake and stop lights go through a multi wire connector
near the water bottles as Mike said.
The headlight motor problem could be the relay, h/l motor/connectors or
micro switches.
That circuit is fed by Fuse 10 which also feeds the heater blower
motor.

Richard,
How do you think the taillights etc get their power?
Start at the back of the car and foow the wires forward. You will
find junction block (or maybe two, I can't remember?) on the RH
side, generally near the water bottles. Clean those connections and
cross your fingers! :)
