i was driving and i either hit something, or the fender just came off, and my dash and tail lights went out, my driver front blinker went out, and my doors no longer lock with my key chain. when i examined it, i found wires hanging from the drivers front that appeared to go to the blinkers. i checked the fuse for the dash lites and it was not blown.

Hi bond343,

When wires are exposed and bunched together, the fuse would be the first thing to blow. The fuse underdash is # 13 (15 A).

You need to repair the shorting before proceeding with replacement of the fuse.

Check the Taillight relay which receives its power from the Driver'r Multiplex Control unit.
