I have a gremlin in my wiring and was wondering if there is any commonality with horn, turn signals, and high beam lights?
One by one, things are dropping off. In a very preliminary look, no signs of damage by age or rodents.
Help would be greatly appreciated

Other than bad grounds to all three, (separate) circuits there isn't really a common single point to make all three fail at once."KulpFarm"]I have a gremlin in my wiring and was wondering if there is any commonality with horn, turn signals, and high beam lights?

The horn will usually be at the brush under the steering wheel / turn signals usually either bad grounds or the switch / and the high beams will usually be due to the dimmer switch on the floor.
What year bump?

Re: Gremlin in wiring
This might help in the future:
I also recommend getting one of these, (I kept mine rolled up in the dash pocket) as they are a lifesaver out on the road when electrical gremlins come up. I didn't see the one for your 72' but pretty sure they'd have it. Maybe send them an message to confirm as it will save you a lot...of money and time!

The horn will usually be at the brush under the steering wheel / turn signals usually either bad grounds or the switch edit: also look for the flasher as it is a common fault problem(up under the dash) / and the high beams will usually be due to the dimmer switch on the floor.
