Electrical gremlins - S2 V8

Hi all, I've recently bought a '72 V8 that's been off the road for over 10 years and have a couple of electrical niggles:
- The o/s sidelight is not working despite the bulb and earth being fine. I've checked the fusebox and both red and black wires are getting 12v. On dismantling the light unit I noted the sidelight bulb is fed by a red and orange wire, the same as the one coming from the parking lights fuse (5,6 I think?) which also gets 12v when on. I take it the two merge at some point? Can only assume it'a a failed wire, but thoughts welcome!
- the n/s dash indicator doesnt come on at all. The bulb is fine.

These are now the only things stopping me from getting her tested, after a summer of welding and general tarting up.

Thanks in advance :)
