    Hey guys so woke up today to find out my turn signals don't engage ? Recently installed a All- Pro bumper and and have my blinker bulbs zip tied to the bumper. They shattered after bouncing around a little bit. So I then just had the rears. They also started blinking extremely fast. So this morning I went to the auto parts store to buy new fronts and come to find out The blinkers no longer engage. The hazards come on and the new bulbs flash just fine front and rear. But when I switch my turn signal on nothing happens my dash doesn't light up or anything. Please help! Feel unsafe driving lol!

    Check your rear bulbs. It's all a loop type system.

    Flasher is on the back side of fuse panel inside. Its easier to see if you pull the knee bolster down. It's black and square shaped.

    The haz fuse is good. So looks like that's the culprit I'll have to go grab a new fuse. Hopefully that's it! Thanks for all the help @mechanicjon appreciate it man!
