brake lights, turn signals probs

[WandererS30]

I just recieved my two new switches, one headlight and one turn signal switch. i installed them on my 71 240, and still have the same problem as before: when i press on the brakes, the brake lights come on, and so do the front turn signals. so it isnt the switch. what could my problems be? i may need a new wiring harness for dash.. can sombody help me to understand the correct way to hook up my new switches, maybe i am hooking them up wrong.. i dont understand the wiring diagrams completely, is there any pictures of how a 71 wires are hooked up under the steering wheel?

also some other notes: some of the connectors get hot, and my dash guage lights are very dim.. please help me out with any info such as wiring diagrams for a 71, pictures of wiring, or any tips.. i am also in the market for a wiring harness for a 71 if anyone can help me with that.. thanks

get a manual... they usually help. I was in a wiring nightmare till i decided to concern myself with school more and now my Z is in the shop geting re-wired by a Z shop down here in LA.

When you hit your brakes... do ALL the turn signals come on? At one point, my car did that, and if my lights weren't turned on, and i hit my brakes.... the gauges would light up too... does that happen to you? If so... your wiring is not connected to the rear brake lights, but the parking lights.

Also check... turn on your lights, then hit your brakes... is there a difference?
