Default Got an electrical problem....any ideas?

Well when I was driving today my turn signals were working. Then about 5 minutes later they just quit working on their own. I did nothing to them. So now when I flick it up or down to turn left or right it does nothing. It does not flash on my cluster nor do my exterior lights flash. I pulled my cluster to check bulbs, yup, they're not burned out. Maybe its my LEDs???? Okay...so I switch back to the stockers...nope, still doesn't work. So I started to check fuses....I found I blew a fuse...I don't remember which one it was for. So I thought...hmmm, that should fix it right? Nope, still doesn't work. I am at a complete loss...it is acting really wierd. Is my multifunction switch on the fritz? Or how can I pinpoint the problem? It has nothing to do with my bulbs....they all work. I have no blown fuses anymore. Any ideas?

Could be the flasher. Either that or the multi switch, but that usually does not just go.

Make sure your flasher button is not stuck half way. Turn it off and on a few times.

Where did you have LED's? Cause if you changes tails to leds and flasher flashed alot faster after that you would of have'd to change that to heavy duty one.

If you need help with the switch trouble shooting I have a manual with the diagrams.

I'm thinking its the flasher because everything on the multifunction switch appears to be working.

No, I have white in my side markers and front blinkers. White or amber is legal in my state. It varies from state to state. I've had white in my blinkers and side markers for over a year without a single issure.
