    Hey everybody!

    I figured you guys were the ones to come to with this:

    Someone stole my car radio (with poor execution) and made a mess of the wires under the dash. My headlights still work but my flashers do not. The blinker icons do not show up on my dash and the external turn signal lights themselves do not engage.

    Whoever did the deed also cut/ mangled all the wires going to my hazard signal button, in case that information changes things.

    I appreciate any and all sage wisdom you kind internet folk have to offer!

    (Also I have a 1996 v6 Taco just to specify)

    Nein. The truck's been totaled for years due to a run in with a deer.

    Good eyes, wire, connectors, a crimper and patience.

    [a burning hate for thieves sometimes helps]

    Everything goes through the hazard circuit. It has to be working for all the rest to work.

    Cool!

    Well I'll lasso up some crimps, some wire, some burning hate, and begin work on what will probably become my summer project.

    Thanks for your help everyone!

    Or learn to solder (a monkey can do it watching youtube). I had my tail lights cut when my stereo was removed by a thief that stole my truck years ago. It'll just take some time and what was said already.

    This.

    If the hazard switch is unplugged the system fails. Also, if they cut wires, odds are a fuse blew.
