AW11 Electrical Gremlins - Headlights, Indicators, Gauges...

I had a weird electrical experience with my AW11 last night.

I should say up front the hazzard flashers have never worked since I have owned the car, but I'm used to older cars without them anyway, so it hasn't worried me.
 
Also, being an ex-USA car converted to RHD, it may have had some wiring bodgery inflicted as part of the conversion.
 
Last night I was driving happily down the freeway last night when I used the indicators to change lanes.  Suddenly all the gauges (except speedo) dropped to zero and the indicators/hazzards on both sides came on solid, not flashing.

I banged at the dash and fiddled with the indicator and hazzard switches and everything came back to life.  All was fine for the next 10km or so. 

As I exited the freeway and hit the high beams the same thing happened again, except this time I also lost the headlights on both low and high beam.  The only way I could get any headlights at all was to hold the stalk in the "flash" position and drive the 1-2km home like that - high-beaming oncoming traffic and with no indicators!

When I got home, fiddling with the hazzard switch, headlight switch and indicators eventually restored everything to normal again.

I'm suspecting the problem is with the indicator/dip switch, but I would be interested to find out if any other AW11 owners have had similar issues and what the solution was. 
 
Thanks,
Brett.

I replaced the indicator/lo/hi stalk with a second-hand one and it made no difference.

I then started investigating the loom.  I found the thick white wire with black trace coming from the stalk into the dash loom had snagged or pulled on something and was partially broken.  Only a few strands were holding.  According to the wiring diagram this was an earth so I temporarily earthed the wire.  Voila, normal service of all lights was restored. 

To fix it properly I soldered a new length of wire in and also added an extra wire going to an eye terminal.  The join was covered in heat-shrink and the wires cable-tied clear of obstructions. The eye terminal is screwed to the steering column ensuring a good earth.  Everything has worked perfectly for a few weeks, so I am certain I have solved the issue. 

Cheers,
Brett.
