I think I fried my turn signals
So I decide to finally replace my burnt out backlights for the instrument panel. The first step of this process is taking out the large trim panel in the dash. I pry out and unplug the switches and controls for the defrost and rear view mirror control, but ended up going for a drive without remembering to plug them back in.
Now my right headlight's low beam is burnt out and my turn signals don't work whatsoever. I'm sure the headlight just needs a new bulb, but I've checked every fuse that seems remotely relevelent and they're all good. I move the turn signal arm and it makes not a sound. Ack! What should I do next? I'm terrible at diagnosing electrical problems.

uhumm its not the turn signal harness young grasshopper. that would not be disconnected in removing the dash panel. Only the hazard switch would be unplugged doing so.subawhatsubawho wrote:Plug in the harness for the turn signals...yes I am that much better.

p.s. I'm not really this much of an ahole, its the beer talking...
