Turn signals, dash lights failing

[tetsusounds13]

I have an '95 S14. I was pignosing the turn signals. The passenger side has no power going through it at all, but the driver side did.

You know how you're not supposed to touch positive with positive (correct?). Well, when those two wires touched, now there's no power going through the turn signals at all and for some reason my dash lights wont work at all. Even with the light adjuster next to the steering wheel.

I know the fuse for the turn signals is on the driver side fuse box: 10A. i checked it, but it doesn't look blown out? Even then, how the heck does anything have to do with the dash lights?

Not sure if it would be related but in my s13 I had No dash lights and shit and it was my 75a Alt fuse under the hood.

The turn signals, illumination and tail lights all pull power from the same 10A fuse at one point or another, that would be the most likely point to fail - start by replacing or testing that fuse, don't just eyeball it.

If that doesn't do the trick, then you're going to need to go through the entire system and see which component is dead, if any. Could also be a bad ground some where too, but this seems more like a popped fuse or some other burned out part.

Here's the wiring diagram for reference. http://www.240edge.com/manuals/95_240sx/el.pdf
