gauge cluster and turn signals

[Santini]

Recently acquired a 1963 hardtop T-bird. The fuel gauge, temp gauge, and turn signals don't work and I have been told that the issue is probably a bad fuse or circuit breaker? behind the dash. Replacing it apparently requires removing the top dash pad to get to the item. Anybody out there familiar with this issue??. Does that sound correct? Apparently that one fuse or Breaker controls the entire gauge cluster and turn signals. Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

Based on your description, it does seem like a fuse or circuit breaker could be the culprit.
The fuse box in the 1963 T-bird should be located on the driver's side, just to the left of the steering wheel.
