Unhappy Turn Signals stopped working

I'm wondering if I might be having a few wiring gremlins caused by an accident about 9 months ago or maybe even from the people that fixed it.

The truck is a 97 4x4 5 speed

Here's my story,

Had an accident, shop fixed it (Got screwed when I wanted to fix it). Replaced the A/C condencer, Innercooler, and had them throw on an aftermarket bumper. Slight damage in the rear too.

Ever since I've gotten it back my HVAC Temp control is stuck(springs back to same place), My aftermarket alarm (that I installed) has lost it's volume significantly, my fuel shutoff solenoid and relay burned up (might have been from rain but fixed now), and now today my turn signals stopped working.

My emergency flashers still worked, and I thought I saw the turn signals work once or twice faintly but now nothing. Replaced both flashers, now my emergency lights work better but still no turn signals. Fuses in the cab seem fine, what else should I check?

Is there a place the shop could have pinched a wire loom around the parts they replace?

Thanks for any help or input you can provide.

-Mike

My guess is you have a bad ground somewhere. I bet you'll find one that the repair shop forgot to tighten down.

They could have pinched or cut the wiring harness by accident or idiocy, but it does sound like a bad ground.

Where's the most likely ground they could have missed around the bumper/innercooler?
