I had a burnt out taillight, changed it and now my blinkers and hazards are not working. The tail light works now. I checked fuses under the steering column and replaced the relay also under the steering column above the fuses. It still dose not work. When I use the turn signal it does not make the blinker noise. A friend checked the electrical plug in the back that plugs into the lights and it does not seem to be getting any power to the blinker at all. Please help, and thanks in advance.
