Default turn signal problem!

ok so the other day i try to fix parking light problem and i unscrew the dash. when i put it back together, the turn signals dont work. i already checked the wires to make sure they were connected and they were. it has to be somewhere in the column since the hazard lights do work and everything. what can it be? which wire on the steering column is for the turn signals?

does your turn signle click into place like it should be on? you might have broke the the thing that turns it on and off. my friend firebird formula did that. its a tiny lil piece.

it does click into place and everything. do you know which wire is the one for the turn signal on the column to make sure it has power?

Check to see if the hazzard light switch is just barely pushed in. Pull it all the way back and see if the blinkers work then. That happened to me one time.

You must have pinched a wire putting it back together. Did you check the fuses? If you pinched a power wire you must have blown a fuse. If you find a blown fuse replace it and if it blows again you probably have a shorted wire.

pull the little cover back off under the dash, turn the key to acc, put the blinker on, and move the wires around going to the steering column.
