Default help

i have a 93 civic 4dr. i blew the rt front tire and it took out the turn signal indicator assembly. lost it completely. now for some reason i have lost everything on the dash,,,speedo, tach, turn signals, everything!! nothing works. i dont have a diagram of the fuse panels but i checked em all and none are blown. maybe a relay but i dont know which one to check without a diagram?? is it possible that since the turn indicator was ripped out that without it in place the circuit is not complete???? i dunno??? please help

do the turning signals actually work tho? just not show up on the instrument panel?
check your connections behind the gage cluster? maybe something got banged loose?

How's that for trying to answer your question with some more questions..lol

There is no relay involved here, other than the blinker relay that makes the lights blink.

The blinker circuit is entirely separate. I along with the other guy would like to know if the lights on the outside of the car blink. There are two fuses. One for the turn signals under the dash and the other for the hazard function is under the hood. If the wires are shorted out at the front light, the fuses will blow.

Power for the gauges, speedometer, tach, oil, BRAKE, and CHECK ENGINE lights comes from the ignition circuit. If that circuit were out (fuse blown) the car would not run. The battery light is on a separate circuit. The high beam light is tapped off of the headlight circuit. If absolutely none of that works, but the car otherwise works normally, it would seem the cluster must be unplugged. Unplugging the hazard button will disable the turn signals.
