Default No Turn Signals, No High Beams

You've heard this before I think - 95 850, deer hit smashed out my nose, piecing it back together, but I've got no high beams, no hazards, no turn signals (front or rear) checked all the bulbs and tried other 15A fuses. nothing. marker lights work, headlights work, horn works. Havent checked wiper speeds.

Havent tried the door lock boogie trick yet, but did have the battery disconnected (for several days) while I dissasembled.

The hazard switch includes the relay and controls the signals too, right? Maybe I should try replacing that switch. That wouldn't explain the Hign beams though, would it? D

Well everything (except highs and turns) powers up: radio, headlights, wipers, car starts and runs fine. Seems like a bad ignition switch would cause everything to fail, right? and i tried the jiggle, and the key a smidge back from on thing too. I've had no ignition switch problems in the 2 years i've owned it.

Wondering if the deer impact (and smashing out all of the front lights) caused a switch / relay to fail. Signals and high beams both work off of the left side stem off of the steering column, wonder if that is the faulty link. Dont want to just start throwing parts at it you know.

I did try the battery disconnect and the drivers door lock / unlock thing...Dave

Well I checked 3 fuses when I should have checked 4- thats all it was- #13 fuse I think was popped. Lights back. :-)

Funny thing, though, when I started it up I had the flashing arrow and check engine light. I shifted from P to 1 about 10 times, shut it off restarted and no more flashing arrow. but still have the CEL. gonna run past Autozone see about clearing it or seeing if there really is a fault code. odd.
