Hey everyone! Long story short, one of the previous owners of my beloved piggy ended up jerry rigging wires to the rear turn signals in order to make everything (front and rear blinkers) work. Since I dropped the dash a couple days ago, I removed the two wires leading to the back and the relay (i think) they were connected to. Now I lack turn signals. I was hoping I could get at least an educated guess as to what the item was that I removed and inadvertently ended up tossing to the garbage . I can easily grab all the wires involved and hopefully figure it out from there.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah yeah i know.

I tossed it because the wiring was not collected to the wiring harness, just loose as if it were part of the alarm system that used to be in the car. So I took it out.

I think I may have figured things out though. Just got home from work so im gonna see what i can do.

Pictures of where you ripped out wires?

And ugh.... car alarms. 99% of electrical problems stem from these. I swear.

Case in point:

*sigh*

So dumb. I fixed it. And yet I feel so dumb.I looked at my FSM and realized the damn blinkers are wired to incorporate the hazard switch. So I plugged it back into the harness, and bam. Done.

fml.

Now to put my dash back in and start driving her again.
