Non op dash lights

I am curious as to what could cause the turn signal flashers, 4x4 light, parking brake light to not work. In addition my dome light doesn't work.

84 Ford F250. What I find interesting is that when I pulled my cluster all my lights worked and a couple of times they have worked. The most interesting thing is that my right turn signal dash light worked but not the left, even though the turn signal worked.

Take the lights out, take a pencil eraser and clean the copper on the circuit board and the brass contacts on the twist in bulbs and also unplug and plug back in the bulbs. Also pencil erase the contacts where the large wiring plug plugs in. It's usually just corrosion on the contacts of the circuit, and the bulbs.
