Screwed up. Turn signals aren't working...

So I was trying to do the cornering rewire ( the one where the orange bulb flashes with the turn signal) and I had some problems at first but eventually got everything connected. When I went to test it, I flicked the turn signal to the left and I heard a buzzing sound and nothing happened. Now both signals don't work. Looking at the diagram Craig made more closely now I think I know what I did wrong, but I reconnected everything back to stock and they still don't work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Obviously, buzzing electrical noises are not good. Did you make sure you didn't blow the fuse? I know it's simple, but sometimes we forget. Just in case you need the diagram.

you may have blown the flash relay or whatever that piece is called (the piece that makes them blink) or its just a blown fuse.

acutually, I didn't check the fuses. I'll go do that now. Where is the relay though?

its called a combination flasher unit in the FSM. Its not actually a relay. Its located at the M29 connection which looks to be in the center of the car above the ECU or in that general area.

hopefully for your sake it is just a fuse, you may have shorted something out.

Good news, the fuse is blown. But I lost that little grabber tool that comes on the inside of the fuse box cover, so I can't check to see if the fuse is the only problem I have.

My blinkers don't work! the bulbs are good, the fuses are good, and i even (through much frustration) located and replaced the flasher relay unit. The problem is...i still have no blinkers!! I'm not sure what to do next. Any suggestions!??

I read, in a forum i can't seem to find again, something about a 4-way flasher, but i can't seem find anymore information about it so I'm not even sure if a 4-way flasher really exists. Any help would be great!!
