My front right blinker wasnt working. So the rest of the blinkers, front and back just didnt do what they were supposed to. I went and got new bulbs and replaced the fronts. They worked but, then all the blinkers went "fast." This morning I started her up, had no lights on my dash, rear light was out, and blinkers were out. Got nothing when I turned on the signals.

Whats your course of action?

I'm thinking I need to check the connections. If those are fine, I'm thinking the relay went out possibly through my trial and error? Trying to fix this before the weekend, I kind of want my dash to be able to tell me when I'm low on gas again lol. screw the blinkers...lol jk

Check connections and grounds. If those are good, pick up a new blinker, there's some thread around here with a cheap replacement you can get from most auto parts stores.

did you get the right bulbs?

there are 10w and 20w(21w maybe) available.

are these stock blinkers? did you get the blinker numbers per the manuals?

take the bulbs out, check all the fuses.
start over

I don't think the bulbs were the right ones, not the stock blinkers either. Went and picked up a cheap set, started over. I think I found the culprit in one of the connectors. The fitting didn't secure and it was just sliding out with ease without me noticing the first time around. Fixed that and the 7.5a fuse that blew as well. Voila everything works good as new. I love it when that happens
