Today I put on my Wings West front bumper, it came with Hella signals to replace the factory ones, I started to get things wired, and the signals worked fine, my brother decided while I was wiring to flip the signal on, it sparked and must have fried something, will someone tell me where I should start to troubleshoot it, the hazards work fine, but I can not signal to turn.

Maybe the bulbs or the fuse?

Well I got in the car today, and in addition to the signals, my tachometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, and speedometer do not work either. Someone help me please.

There is ONE fuse that controls all those features. Look for it in the fuse box.

also check the connection inside where the bulb goes alot of those aftermarket lights have problems with where the bulb goes inside the socket. look to make sure they are touching the bulb contacts.

well Ricewizard, you solved my problem, I replaced EVERYSINGLE fuse with BRAND NEW ones, they work now, but the right one wasn't connecting just like you said, but now I have these annoying fast blinkers, can anyone help me with that???

if all the bulbs are working and you have fast binkers, its due to diff types of bulbs or less bulbs in circuit. try aftermarket flasher , but will more than likely be there indefintly.

Ryanman, I do not have a blown bulb, they all work, Rice is right, it has to do with the resistance of the new signal circuit, I guess I will just have to get an aftermarket flasher, do you know where I should go, and what I should ask for??

Fuse, or not. Fast blinkers are either an incorrect relay, or perhaps the resistance of the new bulbs is not what your electrical system wants.
