Turn signals out, head lights work

I replaced my radio/cd player with a stock unit yesterday. I put everything back together, plugged all harnesses, and tested. Everything works except for my turn signals. They will not indicate on the dash or work on the exterior. Anyone run into this? Just curious before I start replacing parts. Thanks

Did you disconnect the battery for the installation?

If not, I would suspect a blown fuse.

Fuse panel was the first place I went. The 7.5a turn light fuse is fine.

Just so everyone knows, I fixed it. I pulled the gauge panel off again last night and went over it close to an hour. I found a harness had 2 wires pinched in a metal tab. I pulled them out and wrapped in some electrical tape. Then tested the turn signals, fixed! Moral of the story, take your time with any job.

Thanks for the update. And congratulations on figuring it out.

Not the cluster, the cluster cover. There are wiring harnesses running all over the place. My issue happened to be the one running from the steering column, up and to the right going behind the cluster. Some slack had developed and allowed the harness to sag. Thus getting pinched with the cluster cover tabs.
