Turn signal, gas and temp gauge suddenly went out. Help!

[Acardiel11]

This morning I went to go take my truck out and I noticed the turn signal, gas and temp gauge were not working. Last night they were working completely fine. I checked the fuse and everything there looks good, I grounded the temp wire and the gauge moved to the middle. That means that sender is bad or I need to pull apart the temp gauge and clean the point? I checked the battery grounds and they are clean, I checked the 10 point connector and they are clean.

I did get a car wash yesterday morning and there was water on the floor by the heater. Is there anything in that area that could that would cause the turn signal, gas and temp gauge to fail? The hazards lights do work so I know the lights are working. Outside signals do not work as well.

 

Thank you all in advance!

Maybe your belt went loose on the alternator

everything is dry now. Just checked the belt and it's not slipping.

head lights are wired to the battery. They come on anyways. running or not ,   right?

 

 

temp and gas gauge is the volt reg in back of the instrument panel.

 

turn signal flashers  need a good voltage like a running alternator otherwise they don't work I think

Yes. They work either way. I'll pull the volt reg off and clean the point here soon. Thank you!
