i checked them and they all work but im saying the truck period they dont work front or back would the dash make them all not work? i got a 96 cluster and everything works fine other then the turn signals it doesnt even make the little clicking noise when the lights are blinking and i tried the hazards and i still got nothing.

nope but they turn on when i turn on the running lights so the bulbs arnt dead but i did find a blown 30A maxi fuse in the fuse box under the hood so maybe thats it but i thought turn signals only used the in cab fuse box?

i replaced the fuse and i still got nothing could it b the circle turn signal switch thing that gets pluged into the fuse box in the cab? is there a way to check to see if its working or do i just replace it? but idk if that would do it cuz its not lighting up on the dash or the head or tail lights so i know its not the bulbs is there any relays or anything that are common to go out or anything? thanks

i swapped out the the round flasher thing in the fuse box in the cab so i have no blown fuses and the flasher thing has been replaced is there anything else all the bulbs arnt blown and i have no turn signals in the cab or on the head or tail lights. is there anything im missing? is there a ground for the whole turn signal switch? i dont have a ticking in the cab when the lights should be blinking but everything elses works.

Sounds like the multi function switch died, likely just a fluke it died mid cluster swap.
Myself I jumpered the turn signal circuits at multi function harness connectors once the switch was unplugged/removed just to test and verify it was the problem before buying a replacement.

No the turn signal itself, the part the lever sticks out of, you'll replace the whole thing lever and all. Easy enough to remove/test/replace.

should i get a new one or should i get one from a junkyard? The brights work if thats any consolation idk if that makes a difference. you said you can test them how do you do that? ill check it out tomarrow and see if i pulled on the wires by accident when i was doin the tach swap. o yea and if i gotta buy it new is it something i can get at autozone or is it an LMC kinda part? thanks

yep and i figured it out when i took apart the steering column and took off the switch i found that the pervious owner had done something to the switch cuz it was cut and it was a hack job and just tied the wires back together with out even using electrical tape and i had pulled one of the wires out so needless to say i spent an hour redoing all the connections and doing them the right way what a pain in the a$$ but it looks alot better and its done right and i wont have any fires from bad wiring.
