Ghost in the machine?

So I'll try to keep this short.....
Doing some work on the truck last week. I replaced all the under dash vent tubes, got both vents cleaned up, cables working
and then went to fix a loose bulb on the left side of the gauges as well as the high beam indicator.
I snap the bulb into place, replace the high beam bulb and button it up. Go to take the truck for a test spin and I notice
my signals no longer work. Get back to my house to check it out and notice not only are my signals out but the rear running
lights, brake lights, dash lights, parking lights and cab lights all aren't working. But the headlights still work as does the high
beam indicator. wtf??
A couple days later I get some time with the truck. I pull the gauges again, make sure I didn't unplug anything, check the firewall
plugs, check all the fuses ( yes a 64' with a fuse block, who knew?) make sure all the bulbs are in correctly etc... just an all around
idiot check. Nothing.
So last night I had to move the truck for street cleaning. As I'm backing it into a space I realize I see my brake lights working. Start
checking the rest and the rear tail lights, parking lights, cab light, dash lights all working again BUT still no signals. Strange.
So although I'm happy most everything is back I'd like to get the signals working again (and would love to know what happened too).
Any thoughts? Maybe the signal flasher? I'm stumped.
