Does anyone have an idea on why "All of the sudden" my reverse lights, radio, and turn signal stopped working? I recently installed an A/C kit from Classic Auto Air which went in very easy. It was a very simple install without any problems... All I'm trying to figure out is, why that particular circuit died... I retraced my steps over & over & over... NOTHING! I check the fuses and the wiring, even at the firewall.
I bypassed the turn signal switch directly to run off the hazard circuit (which works fine), but it's not the right way and I don't like it!
Is there a "Series Circuit" that controls the heater box? I'm completely at a loss.... Please help!!!

Thanks!

Did you check the turn signal flasher which is seperate from the emergency flasher?

Yes, there's no power to that either... I metered everything and there's no power.

Well there are all the usual suspects:
Bulkhead connection
Ammeter bolts loose
Burned wires in between bulkhead connector and dash.
The only usual suspect that you have ruled out is the wiring in the steering column.
Nothing is wired in series. You will have to start at one end or the other and check voltages along the way. A diagram, as previously pointed out, will make the job possible. Without one, you could keep shooting in the dark for a couple of weeks.
