Yesterday, I was out havin fun, stopped to get fuel. Jumped back into the truck, and all of a sudden I Dont have turn signals. I get out and start checkin things. I also dont have tail lights, But I do have brake lights. I dont have (cluster) dash lights, but the cab light & stereo work. I do have working head lights, and fog lights..

I did a quick look thru my fuses and they all look good.
I'll have to go out today and pull them all, and check them carefully. I dont know where the flasher relay is for the B2200, probably under a kick panel.

It was a blown fuse, stupid thing was. The fuse wasn't melted like normal the piece of metal was flapping. So I guess when I pulled it out the first time, I didn't take a close look at it.

Isn't it nice and reliefing when you have a problem and it end up as stupid as a fuse.

Ahhh your the one that jinxed my truck

It blew on my way to work this morning. I think it is the switch on the steering column. The truck was stolen February of 2007, and they busted the whole column. I thought it was just the ignition they busted. But as I look closer, I find other things amiss.

I found the problem: When I got into my accident and crunched my front bumper, I munched my front light as well. One of the wires was bare and touching metal.
