    Anyone experience a normally operating car but the turn signals and radio do not work. Been a couple weeks since o have taken her out and everything started up fine and drove fine. However right when I put my indicator on nothing happened. I then realized the radio wasn’t working either. The headlights, high beams, and wipers work fine. The car drives 100% as normal so I do not believe it to be the battery. Any one else experience this?

    Ok just to update the thread and help anyone in the future. I tracked it down to a 20amp blown fuse behind the passenger seat. However every time I replaced it the fuse instantly blew. Well after multiple trial and errors I narrowed it down to the cigarette lighter. It somehow managed to shake itself loose. After I completely removed the cigarette lighter every thing functions properly. Hopefully this saves someone a headache in the future.

    I had the same problem last year after plugging a USB charger into the lighter socket. Seemed it shorted the connections and blew the fuse. Took a while to find the right fuse, especially working on it on the side of the road :(. At least I had the full toolkit in the frunk.
