356C indicators and brakelights fail

[Burma-Shave]

Hello, something strange happened. The 356 has a fault.

I noticed people had stopped letting me in to gaps, and after being very rude about them, I realised to my shame that I seem to have no indicators. Looking into it they are on a common circuit with the brake lights and right enough, brake lights are out too.

They share a fuse, but the fuse is good and/or swapping with a known good fuse doesn't help.

I have pulled the flasher unit and applied both technical steps known to me (wobbled it, removed it and given it a wee shake) disappointingly with no improvement.

If brake lights have gone too, can it still be a dead flasher unit?

Or is it wiring diagrams and multimeter time?

Bad earth would be my guess
