    Hey guys, just recently got new motor for my 98 tacoma. Just having few minor glitches. I can't for the life of me find the problem with my blinkers. Both front blinkers rapid click with no light to bulb. I've checked possible fuses and got new bulbs, I do have possible suspect a ground wire right behind evap box on fender wall. Has small slice in it but appears to have copper threads intact. Could this be culprit? Also my speedometer doesn't light up. Thanks!

    Did you crush any of the wire harnesses installing the engine??

    When did the no turn signals problem start ??

    Do the rear ones work ??

    Do the Hazard lights work??

    Maybe I'm just burnt out lol, so I replaced corner light bulbs as well as the fog lights. I'm confused the fog lights blink but corn lights do nothing

    Seems you have some wires crossed in the area of the front signals

    first gens don't have corner turn signals. The "fog lights" you mention are the turn signals. I think they are 3157s.
