Its not the stupidest thing I've ever done but.. I was changing out the old light bulbs to LED lights for my new bumper. I forgot to take the keys out of the ignition when I cut the old light bulb assembly off. When I went back in the cab I had no blinkers inside or outside. No problem right.. I just ordered a new tridon ep35 relay. Nope. Still no blinkers. Maybe its just a blown fuse. I checked the fuse and its fine. The hazards blink just fine. What the heck did I do?
Blinkers are out

How did you check your TURN fuse? A visual check on these fuses is useless. Use a meter/test light or swap in a known good fuse. The Hazards get power from the HORN fuse, so that doesn't tell you anything.
If you are sure the fuse is good, then the next thing is to put a test light to the yellow-red wire that goes from Pin 2 of the Flash relay to Pin 2 of the stalk switch. With the second wire to ground, if the test light blinks, then you can figure the stalk is bad. If it doesn't, it could be the Hazard switch (it has to turn the blinkers ON when the Hazards are OFF) or the FLASH relay (the TURN part of the flasher is separate from the HAZARD part.
Definitely do some circuit testing before you throw another part at it; stalks ain't cheap.

Thanks for the reply. I tried a new fuse in its place. I also have a new relay. I'll check the stalk. I hope its the stalk at this point because I'm not sure what else it could be.
