Ok I got the light wires etc out without cutting, no problem.  However, now
I shot myself in the foot.  I put the fender back on with just one or two
bolts to get it to the body shop.  I also decided to hook up the turn
signals just for saftey's sake.  However, I must have crossed a wire, only
one side was working.  So I looked at the diagram I drew and reconnected the
wires, now none of the turn signals work.  The emergency flasher works so
the relay is good, the fuse is also fine, what gives?  Did I some how blow
my signal switch at the steering column?  Help?
