[T3] Can't figure out what happened


Sorry for not posting sooner and thanks for all the help.
 I didn't give enough detail when I posted early about the car stopping
while I was driving. It's a '71 single port, fuel injected, squareback. I've
come to the conclusion that the problem is indeed electrical. Meaning that I
might have to start re-wiring everything. A few new things have happened
that suggest that there is some bad wiring. First horn doesn't work now, but
will occasionally honk when I start car. I couldn't find a break in the
wire. Secondly the turn signals don't work now, they just don't blink. First
I thought the problem with the blinkers was just the relay. But I accidently
knocked the hazard signals knob while I was trying to figure out what was
wrong and tada the turn signals now work. If i followed everything right
then who ever wired the car before me wired the turn signals and hazard
signals through the same relay. They are suppose to be on different relays
right? My gas guage doesn't work now either, just flickers to the amount of
gas I have every so often. Am I right to say that all of the problems exist
in the wiring? What should I do to fix the problem: follow all the wires and
check them, re-wire the whole thing, could it just be a faulty ground, or
maybe there's something easier I don't know about.
