alright heres the deal
i was soldering the connections on my passenger side turn signal, i had it on to test it to see if it was working, I accidently touched the red and the green wires together, now my Turn signals, guages (they light up), and clock dont work. my hazards work, and everything else work.

what could be the problem?
and yes all the fuses are good.

thats the only thing i can think of is the fuses...i did that with the reverse switch....had to use the mm to find out the fuse was actually blown didnt look like it was

which fuse did you look at? was it the back up fuse?

i got a feeling i might have to chase the wire from the fuse box :thumbdown:

fuses checked out good. i went to the connector under the dash. check the r/l turn signal and it lit up for a sec when the hazards where on

Check your 7.5A fuse under the HOOD (not dash). There's only one.

:x RULE #1: DON'T SOLDER WITH THE G.D. BATTERY CONNECTED. Or, at minimum, pull the appropriate fuse.

Anything electric with a honda is very touchy, the smallest mistake can ruin a lot of things, I touched my power to my ground once and had no idea what to do I brought it in and only costed me $20 to get it fixed. At the Honda dealer a Honda came in and tried to hook up an alarm system by themselves and costed them roughly $2,500 :o

ALL the fuses are good. and the back up fuse has power to it.
